Wow, what can I say. For $50 you get a nearly 10 year bourbon bottled at 120 proof. Almost unheard of nowadays for the age and proof. The nose has maple sweetness, vanilla, cherries, cinnamon, and some oak. Definitely has that ethanol nose from the higher proof. Taste has good spice and sweetness. Perfect amount of heat considering its 120 proof, definitely drinks lower than that, feels like 100 proof. Decently long finish as well. Little bit of tannins, definitely dries out the mouth a bit if you chew it. Overall, very pleased with this purchase and will definitely be on the lookout for other store picks to try! Also the bottle itself is quite nice, but would like an actual cork instead of the plastic one.
