This is the best bourbon I’ve ever had. Full stop. It’s not really close.
Oily mouthfeel. I love it. Rich and creamy. Sweet and caramels with hint of wood. Not cheap candy sweetness but bold rich chocolate covered cherry sweetness. Rich. Lush. Lingering with perfect balance.
I know it’s high proof because my gums are tingling but in a good way. It hurts so good. Immensely drinkable for the high proof. It leaves me feeling warm inside like my mouth got a hug.
This is a special treasure that I always want to drink but I don’t want drink because it’s so valuable. Really a special pour.
If you can buy for under $200 do not hesitate! If you don’t have any on your shelf it’s worth paying up to $250 maybe.
Wow. Tasting anything after this just feels like a cheap imitation letdown.
