HIRSCH The Single Barrel Double Oak

Richly endowed nose of deep oak and sweet corn, overlaid with some peppery baking spices. Interestingly, there's a lot of flavor at the front of the palate, with a sweet molasses character that carries the weight of the more subtle flavors of wood, corn, rye and young tobacco. The finish is medium, with a lot of the high notes ending toward the back of the throat. Everything concludes with a slight tannic bitterness on the tongue.

I genuinely thought it was outstanding. I got barrel gld23006 @128.2 proof. Seems to be found around Northern KY 255 bottles available. The viscosity and mouthfeel made me so happy. Its been so long since a random off the shelf $100 retail bourbon was actually worth the money. This one drinks like an LE. Better than the last 5 4 roses smble. Id probably compare it to a darker richer better tasting Russell's 13 or maybe an older better tasting version of Michters BS bourbon. Im having a hard time comparing it to anything in particular its like an amalgamation of Buffalo Trace , Wild Turkey and Michters. I loved ot so much I made the drive from North Central Ohio back down to Newport KY just to get 2 more bottles. If you see this grab it. If you dont love it ill buy your open bottle from you at full retail. Zero risk.
