Fantastic bourbon—just keep the price reasonable.
This is an excellent bourbon. Rich, oily, viscous, and full of flavor, with layers of caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, brown sugar, cocoa, baking spice, and well-integrated oak. At 123.68 proof, it has plenty of power without overwhelming the palate, and the finish is long, sweet, and satisfying.
