Calling all barrel proof lovers! If you love the smell of a rick house this one is for you! I got a bottle at 139 proof from the gift shop in Bardstown and it is amazing. Strong carmel, oak, vanilla, fruit on the nose. This one is strong on the palate but displayes all the right flavors with just a few drops of water. The barrel is fore front (which i think is what heaven hill does best) with deep carmel and sweetness. The finish is long and very satisfying. Worth the trip to Kentuckey to get a bottle.
