Revisited this on 1.26.22
Although my notes really won't change on this, the rating will.
I made the note upon my an original rating that I would have knocked it down 0.25. Today, I most certainly do that and even consider dropping it an additional quarter point.
It would be a sure to pay $100 for this ever again.
Beautiful golden with amber tint. Really hangs on the glass, leaving a ring of beads.
Nose is butterscotch, vanilla cookies, a hint of eucalyptus and clove.
Beautiful sweetness throughout the drink. Butterscotch up front, turns more to caramel over time. Light char notes, but lots of wood on the mid-palate and into the finish. The vanilla makes a strong return along with a hint of maraschino cherry.
The finish is long and wraps up with toasted oak, dark honey and sticky caramel.
This is a good bourbon. Well rounded with excellent balance and a medium- long finish.
At $100/bottle I nearly knocked it down .25 points, as one can do as well (or better) at $50, but those are getting awful hard to find
