I recieved this as a gift and I am excited to taste it. Batch 2021-01E. 62.65% and very hot on initial taste so I've added filtered water to get to about 47%. Nose: Very classic bourbon nose. Lots of caramel. Some vanilla and baking spice presenting here as well. Some burnt cinnamon toast - classic. Palate: Lots to take in here. Initial salted caramel and some cinnamon. Definitely some nuttiness. Delicious dry oaky tannins subsequently present. Some peppermint lingers in the background. Finish: Long and dry. The oaky tannins stay around for awhile complimented by some burnt brown sugar noted. Warming of the palate is a pleasant late surprise. Overall, this is delicious and spectacular. The high proof shows the confidence in this whisky. I'm thankful (given this is just after Thanksgiving) to be a recipient of this whisky!
