This has an incredibly silky, creamy mouthfeel. Different people will get different profile notes from different batches, but I don't think anyone will miss how great this bourbon feels in the mouth. It just coats everything. Yes there's vanilla, cherry, molasses and oak (to me anyway) but boy does that mouthfeel shine through as a winner. 100% worth $50 and a nice upgrade from the regular small batch. Not that I'd want to, but if I could only find this on the secondary/inflated market, I'd still pay $80 for a bottle.
