Havent had this for several years so decided to buy a bottle when i found it at my local liquor store. Dang, this is hot! This drinks hotter than the 114 proof would suggest.
Yes, there’s some cinnamon and a few other flavors, but its just so hard to get beyond the heat. Water or a cube will bring done the heat somewhat but that reduces whatever flavors exist. Im a fan of high-proof bourbons (love the EC Barrel Proofs) so its not like im new to 100+ proof whiskies. Did something change with this expression? It seems so much harsher (younger?) than I remember it to be.

Its actually cheaper than the BIB in my area
@Ctrexman I hope not! I still love this stuff, but I'm still drinking bottles I stockpiled when they were discontinuing it a few years back.
I havent had for a bit but really liked it before. Maybe they are cheaping out
Interesting you say that as I made the cardinal sin for whisky fans and poured it with coke 😀
Amazing with a spicy ginger ale in a highball!
