Nose: oak, pepper, spice, caramel, strong nice scent.
Taste: cinnamon, apple, honey, oak, pepper. Classic bourbon flavors taken up a notch.
Finish: long. You can tell the 8+ year age statement is there when you taste it. It’s super rich,
Overall review: Finds itself at the top or the barrel proof game for bourbons.
Really high proof point but not overwhelming taste, and takes well to a cube or neat.

Date coded Jan 18, 2021. Neck pour, neat, and didn’t let it sit. Much lighter nose than I expected for the 116.8 proof with spearmint and egg nog and a hint of tobacco. Taste is vanilla and crepes forward with pear, dark fruit (more prune than cherry), and licorice. Medium finish of spice and a punch of char. The proof brings a balanced flavor party without a lot of heat, so this is a very nice sipper, and I understand why it gets lots of raves, especially for the price.
