Total wine store pick from Gilbert Arizona (review may be of limited use to anyone outside the Phoenix AZ area). As I have already reviewed the non-store pick this review will primarily focus on any differences between this and the standard version.
Nose is heavy on butterscotch, banana, vanilla, sweet oak, and ethanol. Possibly a little richer and more intense than the standard, but the basic notes are the same.
Palate matches the nose well (sorry if that makes for a boring review) with some additional barrel spices in the mid-palate in the form of clove and ginger.
Finish features a full on spice bloom of peppery cinnamon and slightly bitter oak (but the bitterness works and balances the sweetness in the palate) Slightly rough. Mouthfeel is thin but also lush at the same time; thicker would work wonders but alas it’s not to be here.
I am a fan of this with the standard version, and this store pick elevates everything to a slight but yet still noticeable degree. At $40 this is indeed a rebuy, but less because it’s really just that amazing and more because $40 for this quality is an increasingly rare commodity in today’s crazy bourbon market.
