Mmmmm bourbon. Classic sweet tasting bottle. Nose is sweet apple with a savory vanilla mixed in. Thick consistency. Covers the mouth and has a cinnamon twist as you nurse it. Aftertaste lingers for a few moments and has a fruity hazelnut flavor. It might not live up to the reputation but it’s an excellent bottle. The price wasn’t too crazy, and although I’ve had better bourbon at a cheaper price I’m very satisfied at this investment. Great bottle for the collection but not sure I’ll ever get the complete group of horse bottle tops. Oh well. Cheers!
