Received a blind sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, fruit. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice, oak. Finish: Medium heat, long length. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 9/10 - This drinks like a Booker’s or a similarly aged and proofed bourbon. It’s well above average, and classic bourbon at every stage.
