Tastes

I genuinely thought it was outstanding. I got barrel gld23006 @128.2 proof. Seems to be found around Northern KY 255 bottles available. The viscosity and mouthfeel made me so happy. Its been so long since a random off the shelf $100 retail bourbon was actually worth the money. This one drinks like an LE. Better than the last 5 4 roses smble. Id probably compare it to a darker richer better tasting Russell's 13 or maybe an older better tasting version of Michters BS bourbon. Im having a hard time comparing it to anything in particular its like an amalgamation of Buffalo Trace , Wild Turkey and Michters. I loved ot so much I made the drive from North Central Ohio back down to Newport KY just to get 2 more bottles. If you see this grab it. If you dont love it ill buy your open bottle from you at full retail. Zero risk.

Too much oak and way to expensive I think I'll just stick with blantons and I'd suggest you do the same blantons is better anyways.

Orange Creamsicle dream. But it's more like hints of Orange Creamsicle with some awesome bourbon. Just great.

Too much Cherry. I almost spit it out. I'm glad I didnt pay for this.

I wasnt impressed. it's on par with the cypb which is barely better than the SR. What I wanted and what this is are 2 different things. I wanted it to be close to the flavor of the 12 year(2nd best in the line up) but full proof. it doesnt have to be 12 year split the difference with the Antique( best in the line up) make it 9 or 10 years old. I dont know it with certainty but it might be younger than the SR
