I guess I will be the first to be the fan boy of this one and give it a perfect 5.
I can taste the best parts of Bakers, Knob Creek, Bookers and Old Grandad in this whiskey. It is hard to blend 7 different whiskies together and truly showcase something from each one, but I think Freddie did it here with chapter 7.
I'm usually a type of guy that will claim a good $60 bottle of bourbon will get you close to some of these special releases but I can say that the way this showcase's the amount of flavors and the concentration of flavor is nothing but impressive. I paid MSRP at $150 and would do it again if given the chance.
The viscosity is awesome, and whiskey has zero harshness or ethanol for a 118 proof whiskey. Combine that with a nice little kentucky hug on the finish and it is a great whiskey to sip and tease out all the flavors one by one.
Excellent job of blending by Freddie here. 5 star pour for me.
