Overhyped. People should never pay over MSRP for this. The low proof makes it a bit thin and its too oaky for my tastes. I prefer sweeter bourbons and the sweetness on this is muted. A little water opens it up a bit, but not enough. There is no reason why this is sought after so much. I assume its just hype. There are many better bottled that can easily be had for less money. It’s good, but not as good as its reputation.
