The now famous, Batch 12. 132.3 proof. Nose is powerful and infinitely complex; molasses, maple, brown sugar, black cherry, plum, barrel char, chocolate, cinnamon, leather, pipe tobacco, and dark oak almost mahogany. Yes, all that is really in there and in equal strengths. On the palate, just literally look at the components listed above in the aroma because they are all present on the tongue as well. This bourbon encompasses all that is "dark"; dark fruits, dark sugars, and dark wood. Flavors are rich and blend seamlessly. A splash of water to take it down a few proof points and this one positively sings. Finish literally goes on forever. Longest I have ever had by far. I hate to sound like a broken record, but everything in the nose/palate is also there in the finish before it finally subsides leaving you with some tingly menthol and chili pepper. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Kentucky hug is real even after the addition of water. Overall just a transcendent bourbon. And when you figure in the price? If there's anything out there that beats this for $60, I'd love to taste it. Will always attempt to have this on the shelf. If you find it and you have never had it, buy it. Case closed.
