Tastes

It is worth its value at $30 or less not paying more.

Drinks like a tad bit less refined henry mckenna. A good daily sipper

Fruity sweet. Very tasty

Leathery tobacco smell that is sweet to taste. Viscous warm and spicy. Worth to have extra bottles.

Not available around my area unlike B519 which I do not really fancy. To me up to this point B518 still tops all the batches. This is similar to that experience albeit this gives me a brighter tone. Nose is that of brown sugar, vanilla, creme brule, a lil chocolate at the back. Sweet and balanced tast3. Solid 5 stars for me. Getting a back up bottle.

ECBP is always my go to barrel proof bourbon and B518 tops that list, this one is almost as good as that. A sugar bomb. This one smells warmer and darker than ECBP but taste lighter. This is better than B519.

My first taste of barrel proof bourbon. Oh boy, what a wonderful drinking experience. This bourbon just exploded in my mouth like a tasty nuclear bomb. It was like a parade of sweet vanilla caramel with a long delightful finish. This eclipsed every whiskey I had tasted and immediately climbed atop my fave whiskies. It is so good that after the first dram I ran out to buy another bottle again. $59 here in Scarsdale NY. edit: with 2 drops of water it only enhanced the experience.
