Why are 2-3 year old bourbons charging a premium again? The high proof hides a slew of imperfections. A few drops of water brings those out.
Nose: vanilla, corn, oak
Taste: hot cinnamon
Finish: short
$20 Heaven Hill beats this easy.

That company is a behemoth!!
Excellent question. I've had one of their barrel proof offerings, but that's my sole experience. Interestingly, I just read that MGP acquired Penelope this year, and Penelope was already an MGP customer, but apparently had some of their own distillate as well.
