Bought barrel 4183. Bottled on 10-21-97. I am amazed at how great this bourbon is! Paid a lot of money for it and it is worth every penny! The taste is spicy with a nice dry peppery finish. Not as woodsy as people have said. Will try with water or ice to get different feel! Highly recommend if you can find it!! Tried again 6/27/21 Amazing! Still a favorite! Hasn’t missed a lick. I enjoyed neat. Caramel, vanilla on front. Coats the tongue to almost numbness. Smooth long finish black pepper on the end.
