Superbly balanced, carrying the 52% ABV really effortlessly, and with no loose ends anywhere. I get a wide range of flavors, which for me is saying something where bourbon is involved. I get banana, Amaretto, and maybe almond on the nose, and caramel, cherry, and maybe cinnamon in the mouth. Definitely has a high-rye peppery aspect on the finish, and it has a nice bright overall feel. Understated excellence, and can’t beat the QPR at $56.
