Tastes

I've enjoyed this more each time I've poured it. It seems that some air in the bottle is beneficial to this bourbon. It's a little sugary for m but a solid pour nonetheless.

Scored a bottle at retail after one helluva quest. Was terrified I'd be disappointed but that wasn't even close to the reality. Thus actually surpassed expectations. The nose is amazing. The balance on the palate is perfect. The finish is long and mellow. It's almost like the whiskey is just absorbed by your mouth with each sip. I couldn't be happier and don't see how I'll ever find a better bourbon.

This has the distinctive HP nose and palate, but good God is it sweet! This one's not for me.

I haven't been a huge fan of the Michter's bourbon because it is aggressively sweet. The smokiness of the toasted barrel tempers the sweetness beautifully. I'm pissed I didn't buy myself a bottle when I had the chance.
