Heaven Hill Select Stock Bourbon

This is a very good finished bourbon that I would gladly drink, but it is very similar to High West's Midwinter Night's Dram and not quite as good.

Surprising spice for a wheated bourbon. Great complexity with vanilla, toffee and a little apricot. Only a hint of floral for me. Expensive, but I consider it to be great stuff.

I got to try this while doing the bourbon trail and doing the tasting at the distillery. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was one of the best tasting bourbons I had that week. The cognac finish was very apparent making its flavor profile very different from the other bourbons we tasted that week. While the proof was very high, I thought it was quite smooth and the flavors were delicious. The dark chocolate covered cherries notes were most prominent.
