Was lucky enough to find a second bottle so I opened one of them to try with a buddy. Anyone who hates on this bourbon is crazy. Would I spend $350 secondary for it? No. Would I buy this retail for $40? Every time! Do I think it could use a little more proof? Yes, at 100 proof this thing would rock your socks off. Do I still think it’s a phenomenal bourbon despite that? Yes! W12>OWA in my opinion. But one man’s trash is a other man’s treasure am I right?
