God I wish I lived in KY. This is an exquisite bourbon, and if it was $30 I would still probably give it a 'buy' recommendation.
A KY retail exclusive, I was able to pick up a few bottles while there on a road trip. Same, but better than EW SiB - classic bourbon nose and notes. More fruity, and less caramel than the EW SiB I've had, but still overall a very sweet and bright profile. Sips wonderfully for 90 proof. Only complaint is mouth feel, which is thin and watery just like EW SiB. Finish is long and sweet, trending slightly bitter.
I poured some Buffalo Trace for a side-by-side comparison. The HH 6yr nose won, but the mouth feel of the BT was definitely better. I think the BT is a deeper flavor profile, while the HH 6yr is lighter and more floral. The finish on the HH 6yr is a little more memorable and longer lasting, although a little bitter (charcoal filter?) while the BT is more oaky and little more sweet, but doesn't last as long. Obviously, both are wonderful. BUT the point here is that one is half the price of the other. And that is amazing to me.
Wish I could ship a crate here.....
