I finally got to try this, after having it open for over an year and sharing samples with several folks here. For whatever reasons, I just never got around to it, and then totally forgot about it. It was just recently that I finally remembered I have this bottle open, while having some family over for Christmas and talking about Blanton’s. I remembered I still have this, and suggested all to try it, that it might be better than Blanton’s. We tried this alongside Bardstown Plantation rum finished, and a Wolves 2022 rye /hop whiskey. The Bardstown was the favorite, but all agreed this was much better than a Blanton’s. My take is that this is as classic of a well aged bourbon profile that you can get. Vanilla, caramel, oak, and a bit of cherry. It doesn’t live up to the previous releases ( my favorite being 2014 and 2016), but if you can buy this under $200, it’s much better than most of the things in the market. I wouldn’t go hunting for it, but well worth a pour or a reasonable asking price.
