(snippets from three ratings cut and pasted together) The nose brings visions of old Kentucky, and Kentucky smells like the bottom of a whiskey barrel. It looks like Kentucky swamp in the spring time. First taste is all bourbon, next is a nice malty finnish. Caramel, caramel, caramel - and it burns on the way down. Long bitter finish. Better than the original.
