My specific store pick is from a local store in Houston. It starts out with a really nice nose - solid vanilla with burnt sugar with rye bites of spice and cooked fruit type flavors. Palate is classic bourbon with caramel and vanilla swirling together, small bit of nuts? Then rye takes over - spice and cooked fruit take over with plenty of pepper and a hint of mint with some more hearty oak. Really well done. The $30-$40 price range is an awkward window in bourbon. A few bucks more get you greats like Rare Breed and 4R SiB, and Knob Creek store picks. A few bucks less gets you Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek and Elijah Craig. But in the 30-40 range there’s not a lot of respectable stuff, besides Makers 46 and 4R SmB, and definitely some over priced juice like High West Prairie and Basil Hayden’s and Heaven Hill 7 year BiB. This store pick definitely falls on the “respectable” side of that list. This is great stuff. I’ll need to try another store pick in case I just got a super honey barrel, but I can easily recommend this.
