I am very much not one of the ones who goes after the âcrazesâ for bourbon. I bought this because it was available online, it was retail, and I wanted to give it a shot. I will say for the proof, the price point, and overall experience of this bourbon itâs great! It doesnât hold punches, itâs sweet, itâs got a great mouthfeel, this is what a good or great bourbon should be. I can only imagine this same barrel at cask strength would be something worth crazing over. If you see it, grab it, but donât chase it either, overall itâs just great.
