Tastes

Beautiful dark color. Nose is heavy in butterscotch, oak and vanilla. Has a substantial and slightly oily mouthfeel, and the first sip is heavy in vanilla, butterscotch and, of course, oak. Finish is great, almost maple. This pour is very sweet, which I really like, almost like having dessert! An awesome bourbon, certainly worth the price!

Great legs and color on this one. Pour has a delightful mouthfeel with notes of deep vanilla, and even some apple. Oak on the finish and nose, and it feels slightly underproofed. Much more complex than regular old Buffalo Trace; 10 years really does some magic. I think this would be a bargin at MSRP and slightly above to $45-$50 a bottle. Anything more might be pushing it.

Pleasent smell. Very vanilla heavy on the initial taste. Develops into a sweet and mostly uncomplicated pour out through the oak-heavy finish.
