This bourbon is a master class in how to blend bourbon. The Johnson’s have become the new Carter’s in the blending world. They have managed to get the best out of a 7 year bourbon and a 15 year bourbon without any of the negatives. I get a complex palate of caramel, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, spiceness, and a little heat. The finish follows with berries, some dark chocolate with no hint of tannins. This is a perfect example of a bourbon punching in well above its proof to be the flavor bomb you expect from a 130 proof monster.
