Today I picked up this bottle from Safeway for a staggering $8.97 for 750ML. This is my first bottom shelf whisky bottle and it's about what expected. Let me preface this with I am fairly new to whisky and have just recently started to be able to discern notes. You probably will be able to tell that my palette isn't terribly developed by the vague descriptions of flavors. Forgive me for the relatively poor number of notes in the review.

Nose: Not much going on here, ethanol first and foremost, whispers of oak, Carmel and cinnamon candy

Pallet: Mouth feel is THIN feels thinner than water. Some carmel some bourbon vanilla but a whole lot of youthful grains.

Finish: Very similar to the pallet, nothing interested, some carmel but mostly just grain.

Verdict 3/10 I bought this bottle for Bourbon green tea shots and thats what it will stay. It's ok for the $8.99 price but even in a pinch I would rather spend an extra $12 in my state and buy a bottle of Buffalo Trace.

Edit: I reupload the post I did yesterday because I realized it didn't have a photo of the bottle.
