I don't have an expert's pallet, for sure, but I just don't think it has much in the way of unique characteristics. It is a good, solid bourbon for sure.

I don't purchase much high end bourbon, so keep that in mind, but my personal favorite bourbon is Four Roses Small Batch. It is one of the best I have ever tasted, consistently. It has a slight sweetness I think works excellently neat, or paired at a tailgate with Ale8 (Kentucky soda similar to ginger ale). Allow me a caveat, I don't think much at all of their single barrel offering. It is incredibly inconsistent even acknowledging that all single barrel is somewhat inconsistent due to the obvious.

After FR, my next favorite is Bulleitt, both the orange label as well as the green labeled Rye, though I freely admit it was the first bourbon I got into so I may be biased by my own sentimentality.
