Quality House Old Style Bourbon is a bourbon whiskey bottled at 40% ABV. For a novice drinker, that usually means a straightforward, approachable style built around the sweet character commonly associated with bourbon.
Bourbon is typically known for notes such as vanilla, caramel, and oak from maturation in new charred oak barrels. At this strength, it is likely to drink in a relatively easy, accessible way, making it a practical introduction to the category.
