Poured neat I cracked this bottle a few months ago and couldn’t stand it. Was a mixer at best. Saw it hanging out in the cabinet and decided to try it again. Glad I did. This bottle opened up for me and was good this time. The nose, while faint, for me smelled of buttered biscuits with a drizzle of caramel and vanilla. The palate, I got vanilla, oak and leather, in that order. The finish is slightly underwhelming. Was short to semi medium and brought along a touch of the vanilla, oak and leather and added in some pink peppercorns. Longer finish could help this bourbon out a lot. I will have to look for other Yellowstone offerings. After tryin again I will definitely buy this bottle again and open it and set it in the cabinet for a few months.
