My review is for Barrel # 4744184. As others on this site have noted, there was a lot of hype surrounding this wheated bourbon, and I've heard more than one person suggest that this is a great alternative to Old Rip Van Winkle 10. Serving suggestion: add a tiny splash of water and let it sit for about ten minutes; doing this will open up the flavors. The nose offers vanilla and brown sugar, with a pleasing oak note in the background... you can tell immediately that this is a quality aged bourbon. I get similar flavors on the palate as well but a really satisfying leather note emerges on the finish that adds complexity to the experience. It's priced right and will be offered a few times a year. Believe the hype.

Great review. I definitely agree that this one needs a splash.
