Binny’s pick a great Barrel with this one. It is such a smooth refreshing pour of whiskey. The delicate fruitiness advertised in the OBSV recipe isn’t as prevalent as I would have thought, but the blend of oak and rye spice from the 9 years in the barrel and 35% rye mashbill make this a home run for me. Also, if I didn’t ready this was over 120 Proof, I wouldn’t believe it, every flavor in this bottle is balanced well enough to where the heat from the alcohol isn’t even something you will notice so drinking neat is the way to go for me! Lastly, the price is extremely reasonable so if you see OBSV on the shelf, please get it
