Tastes

If whiskey and a super ripe blood orange had a baby, this would be the result. A magnificent and unique expression that is both delicious/easy to sip while also being complex.

This a great expression of JD, but given the allocations and secondary pricing, I would say a JD single barrel barrel proof select is a better bottle.

This is a bold, oak forward bourbon with great complexity and a finish that goes for days. It has plenty of sweetness and a little of that heaven hill nutiness, but don't expect a low key sipping experience. This should be approached with a level of attentiveness and focus to really contemplate the various layers and flavors that come at you from all parts of the palate.

Good bourbon, not great but very good. However I wouldn't pay more than a little (subjective) over msrp. Don't let FOMO influence you into shelling out 5x or more like you will undoubtedly see it listed for.

Delicious rye. Obviously a bit sweeter and more fruit forward due to the finish, but if you're looking for a complex rye that still has plenty of spice but a some added layers of flavors then don't pass this up if you can find it.

Incredible dram. Very long and complex finish following a delicious and creamy sip. Great great whisky. I could drink this every day but my wallet would not survive.

Excellent whisky. Great balance and flavor. Would be a 5 except that I think it trades incredible balance for a bit of uniqueness that would push it over the top. And considering the price ($225 USD) this can hold its own against pricier expressions.
