Had this tonight. Someone bought me an excellent birthday gift

On the nose, you get a hint of molasses, but it's not overpowering whatsoever.

The tastes that come to mind are pecans and molasses, but neither of them are very overpowering. This is a VERY smooth bourbon and I'm very impressed. There is a touch of cinnamon towards the end of the taste too.

Overall, this is a very smooth and balanced bourbon. For $27 before taxes, it's fantastic.

TORNADO ALLEY BOURBON SCORE = 8.8/10

I think the price to taste ratio is optimal.

I'm smelling more and more molasses as I drink it. I'm tasting a little more cinnamon too. but the aftertaste is very smooth.

Pretty sweet birthday gift from a bro. I won't lie

Great bourbon for its price range. Here Maker's is like 4 dollars cheaper so I generally default to that, but when I decide to "splurge" I always enjoy it.

This was a birthday present so that's why I got it haha. I'm a college kid so I usually stick to Four Roses yellow label or if I'm really broke Beam.

Maker's, IMO, is just too one-toned. All I get from MM is sour then hot.
