This was a 2oz sample in an advent calendar that I received for Christmas 2024. The inital nose on this is pretty soft, but you do get a few hints of runts candy and light banana bread. The first sip is perfect given the proof of ~100. It’s soft, oily and has a nice long tail. The second sip gives you hints of banana, apricot, creme bruele / toffee, and baking spices. The finish is very satisfying as it falls off slowly. This is a great pour, but some will feel for the cost might not hit as hard as $100 should, two-three years ago this would have been a $65 dollar bottle and would have been perfect at that price, but thanks to the bourbon boom / tatercraze we all need to reset our goal posts.
