About a year ago, before I got super seriously in to bourbon, I tried a few pours of this at a friends house. I was floored. It was amazing, and I rated Voyage 17 a 4.25. Ever since, I've grown to know more about bourbon and expand my palate. It is no longer the only <$50 bourbon I have drank. So, reviewing this again I am torn. It is delicious. It goes down super easy and has really unique fruity flavors that just pop, backed up by a rock solid caramel and vanilla sweet core. It is a very sweet bourbon, with a surprisingly solid mouth feel for 90 proof, and a pretty lingering finish. A sweet and fruity nose that really has a lot of citrus and yes, like I spoke about before a year ago, tropical feeling notes. Is it as good as I remember it? No. Is it still quite good? Yes. Would I spend my own $70 on it? This is the hard question, but no, I probably would not. I think a lot of quality bourbons, if watered down to 90 proof, would shine like this and be a lot more 'unique' than the currently taste. I may have to try this theory.
