Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year

Worth the hype, first bourbon I could drink neat. Good flavors, smooth.

Mellowed nose, very relaxed and mature, no alcohol burn, wispy honey, heavy wood on the end but not over assertive, smooth and sweet for the abv, initial wood and spice with a gentle fade into sweetness -vanilla lingers, extremely long lingering finish - could still taste it for minutes after a sip, lives up to the hype, if this isn't a five I don't know what is

Very nice, high amount of oak. Not as sweet as I expected. Nice spice at the end

Notes of dried fruit, vanilla, oak, and tobacco on the nose. The palate resonates with orange, caramel, oak, and baking spices. It truly is amazing.
