Reviewed May 3, 2021 (edited September 13, 2022)So I have had a couple of these in a bar here and there. I was hesitant to acquire in that years ago I tried the standard issue and was non plussed. These recent tastes inspired me to acquire a couple of bottles. I like that it's a bourbon that you can sink your teeth in. MGP high rye bourbons have really come of age. This is produced from two different high rye mashbills of 7-11 years of age. Sounds a lot like Remus that I love and no doubt similar to Smoke Wagon. The 108 proof is perfect. High enough to pack a lot of flavor but not so high that I can only have one. The nose is predominately of butterscotch but the next layer is incredibly complex. It's nutty and fruity; There's burnt sugar and a touch of smokey oak. The palate is likewise complex, brown maple sugar and nuts; dark fruit in butter and nutmeg. Alcohol is there but barely, it's rich and oily and builds to a long dry finish that lasts to the next sip. This is really a gem and you can go to the liquor sore and pick up a bottle or two right now. It's priced right to boot. This is a real winner53.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed April 29, 2021I was traveling through the Nashville airport and saw this in one of the stores. Figured why not. Glad I did. The more I drink this (neat) the more and more I like it. I typically like wheated bourbon, which this isn’t. Brown sugar and oak on the nose. On the palate it’s really rich and complex. Get some cinnamon, oak and that sweet brown sugar hit. Finish is spicy and warm with a punch but in a good way. Paid a higher price in the airport have seen it for about )$15 less and available at my local store. At first I wasn’t sure, but the more I drink it the more I really like this. Will definitely buy this again79.0 USD per BottleNashville International Airport-Bna (BNA)
