Picked up a handle of this while in KY. Yes, it’s only 80 proof and likely only 4 years old. But jeez, I was impressed by the flavors that were going on. Yesterday, I tasted and reviewed Basil Hayden’s 10 year rye, also 80 proof and costs 7 times as much. This more flavorful and I’m not sure how. The nose is far more clear, sweet basic bourbon flavors of caramel and vanilla, the palate brings that same sweetness and a touch of nuttiness and yeast/bread. The finish is expectedly short, but is a nice mellow end to the pour. Perfectly approachable and impressive for the price. I wish bottom shelf KY exclusives were available here in TX. As good as my beloved Ezra Brooks? No, but still a bottom shelf bargain.
