Another day, another over priced bourbon that I shouldn't have bought? Lets find out. Nose - Vanilla forward youngish MGP. A lot of candy and a lot of fruit without a lot of dirty corn or barrel. Making me think there's a bit of age here. Very full of aromas and notes. Very rich. I'm pretty impressed. Taste - The nose was better. The flavor is much more traditional MGP. A bit of sharp sour notes with some butter scotch and toffee, oak, some light unsweet vanilla. Full mouthfeel full body and full of flavor. Overall, this is pretty good. If you're an old carter fan boy, I think you'll like it. If you're like me and a bit agnostic with them, this isn't a stunner. I'm at a 2.0 for this one. At 200 I don't get these guys but whatever.
