A timely pour sent by @jonwilkinson7309 , which I took with me on a 10 day hiking trip through the Utah National Parks and Grand Canyon. This was such a welcome treat after a few days of going down the rim of the Grand Canyon. I’m sure having this at the bottom of the Canyon after a tedious hike, looking at the Colorado river, adds to the positive experience and scoring. Probably a top 5 bourbon of the year—-and priced relatively affordable at about $100. It’s not cloyingly sweet, but you do get sugared cookies on the nose, followed by sweet plums , oranges and berries on the palette. Really well balanced. I shared a small portion of my pour with a fellow hiker at the bottom of the Canyon. He put aside the Jim Beam he was having and asked me if he can buy my entire sample. ( not selling...it’s all mine !) Goes to show how good this is. Buy a bottle while it’s still priced around $100...you won’t regret it. Thanks Jon for the treat, which turned out a much needed respite after a 12 hour hike down the Canyon.
