This is decent, nothing especially unpleasant about it, has some nice vanilla and oak. I really enjoy the nose on this. However, on the palate it seems thin and under-proofed. Or I’ve just singed my taste buds with too much barrel proof whiskey. Either way, it’s fine, but I tend to use it primarily in blending, as a way to give whiskies a “rum barrel finish.”

I too am a fan of splashing together a little of column A and a little of column B - might have to toss a bit more rum at my mediocre bourbons…
