Definitely one of my favorites. At such a high proof, you would have never guessed it. Unbelievable when u take ure sip. It coats the mouth with a buttercream-like texture. U get very clean Carmel and caramelized brown sugar notes with a very easy finish. I dare anyone to compare this to Buffalo trace and say the latter is better. I did this 3 days in a row blind and came with same conclusion. BT has a MUCH rougher and over tones of spice that overtake any other flavors ure supposed to pick out imo. Only buy either of there at retail. Especially BT. This is closer to eagle rare... But has a MUCH richer platform that continues into a complex finish the likes I have yet to encounter without the bourdon being finished in sherry, cognac or port barrels.
