Eventually, some grass and ginger join the fray between the initial burst and the finish. There&#8217;s also a bit of leathery cocoa\u2026 like cocoa powder just before the finish arrives. I continue to sip on this whiskey and a tobacco flavor develops on the background\u2026 not as forward as on the Eagle Rare 10 that I like, but a nice addition nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very solid whiskey at a great price and still one of my favorite bottom-shelf bourbons. I tend to step up to Eagle Rare 10 or Evan Williams Single Barrel for a few dollars more, but I like this for any mixing that I do since it&#8217;s available at a good price in 1.75l bottles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m still playing catch up from the North Texas ice storm that somehow put a damper on my whiskey advent activities.
