Nose (3.75): Brown sugar and plums. Slightly ethanol for proof but dissipated quickly. Sweeter than the 1920.
Palate (4.5): Burnt brown sugar, raisins with some carmel and vanilla underlying. Very good sipping neat might not hold up as well in mixed drink.
Finish (3.75): Plumbs and sugar and then the heat comes in. Kind of cinnampn-apple. Finish is quicker with good aftertaste. Higher proof may have sustained finish but all in all petty pleasing.
If you like Statesman this has similar profile with nicer nose and a bit richer. I like it dead even with the 1920.

if 57.99 is what your market is I would pay that. It is a damned fine bottle that from what I here could be a one and done bottle
I need to buy this one already. 1920 is one of my all-time favorite everyday Bourbon. This one is $57.99 in my Market. Worth that in your opinion?
