Reviewed April 5, 2022 (edited May 29, 2023)The nose is dense and rich starting with figs, brandy soaked cherries, dusty old leather bound books and dark maple syrup then dark chocolate covered candied pecans followed by cinnamon apple crumble, orange flavored crème brûlée and baked pears that transitions to ginger, cloves and a moderate sawdust with low ethanol burn. The taste is a rich mouthfeel starting with apricots, cherries jubilee and dusty old leather bound books then dark chocolate pecan pie followed by cinnamon apple crumble, orange zest and baked pears that transitions to ginger, cloves and a moderate sawdust with medium ethanol burn. The finish is long with a spicy mocha, candied pecans, apple fritters, creme brûlée, honey covered cornbread, leather bound books and moderate ashy oak. No surprise here that the Cowboy has stayed true to itself with those intense traditional bourbon flavors that manages to also bring in notes of old Armagnac. It's an incredible bourbon that is nearly perfect for me with its only flaw being those dusty sawdust notes that throw off the balance ever so slightly. Since I still have some of my 2019 left, I decided to do a side by side in which I found that the 2021 edges the 2019 out with a slightly richer mouthfeel and a better balance of flavors. Thanks @soonershrink for the generous sample of this one. -

Reviewed March 29, 2022 (edited January 19, 2023)Ok so Ive experienced the glory of this bourbon with the 2020 edition. This is again an absolute flavor bomb. The dense saturation and sustain is magnificent. This has perhaps a touch more barrel than the 20 but may be more balanced. It doesnt matter which you find BUY IT....oh wait no sorry this bourbon sucks and is a drain pour yeah yeah.....If I had to choose I would give the edge to the 2020 but both are all that(full tasting notes in my 2020 review, close enough to not redo) ....Thanks to sooner for sample -

Reviewed March 13, 2022N: maple syrup, oak, corn P: maple and oak are prominent, mild corn dustiness is there but held at Bay, buttered corn bread, some leather, very oily F: back to the maple/pecan pie filling, wood but not overly tannic Far and away the best GB I've had, but the price is still too high -

Reviewed December 19, 2021 (edited March 21, 2022)Nose: cinnamon, vanilla cake, brown sugars. No ethanol on the nose. The nose is lovely Palate: barrel spice, Carmel, vanilla frosting, orange zest Finish. Long and lingers. Tingle on the back of tongue. Overall: this 2021 release is 131.3 proof and it drink like it’s 90 proof. Little to no burn. I hate saying “smooth” but that’s exactly what it is. Complex and delicious and very smooth. 9/10. The issue is it’s 250-300 dollars. I probably won’t buy another simply due to the cost. But it’s damn delicious. My bottle is #3843 -
