I dont know what to call this, not bourbon, but this is an excellent sipper. The fact that the ABV is around 45%, it helps. Full of flavor from thise finishes. Excellent. The downfall, these are getting more expensive evwry year, and not by $2-$5 USD, they are about +$20-$30. They will become a piece of glass in many stores. Hard ti pay $150-$175 for a bottle no days.
