Parker Beam said it all (and I can only paraphrase), 'This is what I think bourbon should be.' I believe Parker knows what he's talking about! I had this in a blind tasting where it was the unanimous winner for the night. Full bodied with rich flavors of leather and vanilla, and an oily texture that allows them to really linger. Only a moderate burn going down, but it hangs there for a wonderfully long time. I loved this tasting and feel fortunate to have an unopened bottle in my cabinet.
