The first bottle I bought was going to make me swear off all other bourbons. Complex, candied fruit and butterscotch sweet. Long smooth finish. The second one made me wonder what the hell I was thinking. Thin, all oak and alcohol with a note that reminds of Sherwin Williams latex paint. That experience has kept me from buying this in anything other than 50 mls. And I find those to be all over the place as well.
