Granted, I'm not a bourbon professor. But I liked Jim Beam and Jack Daniels for being different (than scotch) with plenty of playful vanilla.
And this bourbon just did not impress me at all. I tried it three times and found it too harsh, and way too oaky, with just a hint of vanilla. It has bitter taste and finish. What is it? Rye?
It tastes like cheap cogniac/brandy with oak dominating and bitter aftertaste.
Maybe it's a bad bottle, but I don't think I'm buying it again. There are other decent bourbons awaitng.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one. I've recently (last year) been drinking burbons to supplement my love of scotch. Buffalo Trace has been one of the better ones. Try it with a little water. For some, the alcohol may be a little harsh. But it's been very enjoyable. And Costo features it at a good price!
