Tastes

Very spicy, I was hoping for something smoother somewhat reminds me of the knob creek 100 proof, it's not bad but it's not great. Can definitely get better for the price tag. It does become better with a bit of water but still not a bottle I'd be searching and driving for miles. I was curious so I got it, regret ? No, as it still drinkable neat, the only way i drink whiskey is w a little drop or two of water and it works with this one.

Nose: Quite thick and creamy. There are notes of honey and spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch. Palate: thick and full. There are notes of espresso beans, winter spice, cereal sweetness, plenty of rye, ground ginger, almond oil, toasty oak and a little rum. Finish: Long and mature with notes of cereals and toasty oaken spice. Overall: One of my favorites, it's up there with 1792 small batch wich in my opinion is the best bourbon that I have tried so far.
