Rating: 18/23 This is way richer and better than the 2019. Wood, faint orange oil, spices, semi-sweet chocolate. A bit of caramel. A mellow backing shows age, but it doesn't give me that 15 year old dustiness, so I expect it's more in the 10 year range. This isn't all that complex, but it is nicely balanced. I can contemplate this for a bit, but not very long. I considered a 17, but landed on an 18. It's very good, but I can easily get better bourbon for much cheaper. I spent a while considering buying a bottle of this and I'm so glad I didn't. Maybe the bottle I tasted from had been sitting on a shelf in a poorly air conditioned bar for over a year and suffered from that storage condition, but I suspect it's just overhyped.
