This is 4th pour in glencairn neat. Bottle been open about week and a half. Nose - subtle, has opened up as its sat. Main things pick up on are vanilla, butterscotch, and smokiness/barrel char. There’s some baking spice lingering in there. Little bit of citrus. Palate - this has been a ride. Sweet, savory, and spicy. This i imagine will drink hotter than 104 proof for a lot of people. Starts off sweet with vanilla, dont get so much butterscotch, but more crème brûlée with marshmallow, cherry coke, and citrus. At times even get a little bit of chocolate and nutiness. On my second pour even had a sweet bbq flavor. There are some underlying earthy tones not bad and not overpowering, but there. The mid palate goes to a spice bomb, legitimately pepper spice, cinnamon, hint of anise. After about the 4th sip that spiciness tames down a little bit. Finish - moderate if not long. This hits several taste points. Definitely pick up on the high rye get citrus and mint, leather, and more of a sweet oak, pepper still hangs around. For me a bourbon that is complex and still tastes good is my jam. Each pour of this 2XO has been unique and even changes as you drink it. I don’t know if this will appeal to every bourbon drinker, but I personally think this bottle is fantastic. I love the spice, love the back and forth sweet and spicy. The road block on this one might be price, its a non aged stated from undisclosed sources, at least we know they’re Kentucky. One is a high rye bourbon the other a low rye. Usually with these blends I have an idea this one is a bit of a stumper. For the high rye bourbon was leaning towards maybe Four Roses and any time I get any type of nutiness I think Heaven Hill or Jim Beam. I did also have something from upstart IJW that had a little bit of nutiness and spice to it. For the age range I’d guess this is probably in the 6-10yr range with the 2nd barreling included. I would 100% buy again and probably will.
