If you’re like me, do not let this bourbon sit for months in the open bottle, especially when there’s only a few ounces left. Even in the smallest bottle, the menthol in the taste went from powerful to overwhelming on the tongue. The woody-spicy aftertaste was nice, though. I’d try this Bulleit again at the bar or at a social event, but it’s not something I’d keep for months in my collection or pantry after opening.
