If this isn’t a perfect bourbon, there isn’t one out there. Beautiful deep amber color matches the thick and rich mouthfeel. All your favorite baking scents on the nose - honey, vanilla, brown sugar. On the palate a bit of cherry and blackberry join the mix and add some dimension but this is not a fruity bourbon. Finish lasts for days and introduces leather and a touch of spice to go along with the sweetness. Heat is very much in check despite weighing in at 114 proof, as is the oak for a bourbon that has rested in the barrel for 20 years. Everything is balanced to perfection. It kills me knowing how inaccessible this bourbon is and how little of it I will get to enjoy in this lifetime.
