This was a Barrel Pick at my local liquor store and it blew my mind. It's a very distinct Bourbon, presenting unexpected flavors and veering away from but expanding what I think Bourbon can be. If you want the common and to me, somewhat boring tasting notes of a Bourbon then this is not the dram for you. If you like something that colors outside the box and expands the Bourbon flavor palette then this bottle should absolutely be on your shelf. At the very least, you'll have a new delicious whiskey even if it's not a traditional Bourbon.
