KY Batch 06. Nose - This is what bourbon is supposed to smell like. Smoked oak notes followed by bubble gum, rye spice, vanilla, rich dirty caramel. Just wonderful with some nice fruits scattered in. Taste - This is really just a wonderful example of bourbon. The age is so well done. They've really crafted about the perfect bourbon for today's market. Balanced spice, oak, and sweetness. This reminds me of an off profile older MGP with more focus on the spice and the finish is starting to really improve. I loved batch 1 and I love this batch 6. Really impressed with where they're going with these. 3.75 I think is fair.
