Another new one for me. The story on the back of the bottle:
Back in 1948, at the corner of Clark and Sheffield in Chicago, Binny's Beverage Depot was born...blah blah blah
For those of you not from Chicago, Binny's Beverage Depot is the "Big box" liquor store of all liquor stores. This is their house bourbon, distilled, aged, and bottled by Founders Co. On sale for $29, regularly $39. The description on their site:
A rich, chewy and balanced bourbon that shows maturity and depth without letting oak overpower the softer, ever-present fruit. Vanilla, almond blossom, and caramel notes intermingle with cherry, plum, golden apple and ripe Bartlett pear. A complex melange of spices informs the long fruit and mineral accented finish, pumping out white pepper, cinnamon, clove and a subtle impression of mint. Everything you could want in a great Bottled in Bond Bourbon!
It's smooth both up front and on the back end, especially for being 100 proof. All I taste is the spice and a little cherry. Another one and done for me. It's not bad, just not my "cup of tea"
