63,5% ABV here. I had to add water before trying - the whiskey wouldn't release almost anything without the water. After adding a little water, I was hit by a brutal vanilla bean aroma. I had never felt such strong vanilla in whiskey, even though it was bourbon. Everything else in the aroma was dark - dark overripe banana peel, dark brown sugar, dark caramel, dark chocolate. There is only one thing white - the aroma of peeled nuts, like a handful of raw peeled almond kernels. The taste is nutty, spicy, creamy and of course sweet. You can feel less vanilla ice cream, more banana and white honey cream. The finish is medium to long, of syrup of dark plums, bananas and other sweet pulpy fruits. Easily one of the best bourbons I have ever drunk. 88/100 WBR
