Mild oak with creamy Madagascar caramelized vanilla extract. Layered with a salted buttery body, with simple, vague yet delectable birthday cake finish. Not a harsh or bitter element in this bourbon. It’s perfect. Literally… it’s perfect. The oak is not overdone like the 23 year. I could care less about other opinions. To me this is the best bourbon on planet earth. Simply perfection at its best. Nothing out actually compares. Period.
