Another day, another over priced bourbon that I shouldn't have bought? Lets find out.
Nose - Vanilla forward youngish MGP. A lot of candy and a lot of fruit without a lot of dirty corn or barrel. Making me think there's a bit of age here. Very full of aromas and notes. Very rich. I'm pretty impressed.
Taste - The nose was better. The flavor is much more traditional MGP. A bit of sharp sour notes with some butter scotch and toffee, oak, some light unsweet vanilla. Full mouthfeel full body and full of flavor.
Overall, this is pretty good. If you're an old carter fan boy, I think you'll like it. If you're like me and a bit agnostic with them, this isn't a stunner.
I'm at a 2.0 for this one. At 200 I don't get these guys but whatever.

@BlimpsGo90 same place I got mine lol. If you're an old carter fan though, you'll be happy enough with it. But still I don't get it.
@dhsilv2 Dang it, just grabbed one from Uncorked! Should have checked here first.
@pkingmartin I certainly wouldn't want to break this bottle but yes, the nose is significantly better than the taste here. I'll come back to this with time. If it opens up, I'll let you guys know. For now, this is another example of great blending talent going a bit to waste due to a lack of better bourbon stocks.
Dang, sounds like a letdown from the nose to the taste. Will this be another Old Carter destined to test the structural integrity of your floors? Thanks for the warning and great review.
