This is the best WT product Ive ever had. Nose is grilled orange sprinkled with pepper, oiled saddle and waves of sweet charred oak. Deep and easy to pull in without ethanol fumes. I know with more time and pours this would provide a wealth of notes to devour. Palate is bursting with flavor. Buttery oak envelopes caramel apple, chocolate orange and toasted salted nuts. Powerful but refined. Again exploring a bottle will uncover much more. Finish is forever butterscotch and leather with fading barrel char/toasted oak. There is also a sort of aged dusty attic converted to an office vibe throughout. Magnificent bourbon in every way too bad its unattainable now. At standard pricing this is pass out on the floor value. Comparing to Cowboy this is a different approach. Cowboy is a chain saw this is a scalpel. Both are super elite bourbons imho.....95/100 ......thanks to sooner for the wonderful sample
