This is great, really traditional bourbon flavor. This ones hot all the way for me, very little sweetness on the back end, I get a big hit of cinnamon (but more like cinnamon gum than the actual spice) right after the swallow then a low and slow burn for quite awhile. This was a blind bottle purchase b/c it's so damn overpriced at bars (in NYC this is often a $20 pour. yeah, i'll stick to my Lag 16 at that price range thanks very much), no regrets here!
