Pros & Cons
Pros
Great to kick back and relax with. Great either neat with ice or a splash of full fat coke. I absolutely love it served with a. Good ginger ale, ice and lime - just sublime.
Best of all is the fact that it is priced very competitively. Definitely think about a repurchase in future. Makes a great old fashioned.

The label say 2022 so it didn’t stay much in the bourbon casks
Competitiveness
The fact that you can consistently get this for £25 marchapril 2022 on here means that you can have one of the best bourbons ar... Read More
