Tastes

I was a much bigger fan of this bourbon before the price went up to about 45 bucks a bottle (used to be easily obtained for around 33. I thought it was a great bourbone to make classic cocktails with or even experiement with as the flavor stood up well, but the proof was better, in my opinion, to not get people too saused up with tasty treats. At this price point I'll still readily purchase, but probably use for my own cocktails, and not the whole party

Hey old man winter in my glass. If I had a grandpa that smoked a pipe, this bourbon would taste like he smelled. I really enjoy how much leather you get in the nose on this one

Had this in a manhattan with bullet bourbon. Super smooth cocktail!

Very sweet but not syrupy, with a touch of fire (from the wheat?) Super smooth finish

Even with the addition of water I feel like I'm missing whatmost people call a complex flavor profile. I get the leather and the sugar in the front but it is quickly washed out by heat, heat that seems more prevelant than even in higher proof bourbons
