Definitely good. Definitely Buffalo Trace stock barrel flavors. Definitely not worth chasing it down to pay more than $80ish. I get the rye, vanilla, and caramel right away. There's a quick transition to hot and bitter wood, with a dryness that builds. Nutty and butter at the end.
While I'm rating this fairly high there are better or comparable options available at the same or lower (now gouged) price. In the end, it's bourbon, so my personal experience is once you get to over $100 there's no considerable difference in taste and quality (sorry, it's not Scotch). I'd gladly drink this again.

The manager at my local store actually offered me one of these at MSRP the other day and I passed. Much better whiskey out there...especially for $60.
