Wife bought it for the cool bottle. This is a very unusual bourbon. It is thin, with more wood than char on the nose. Forward taste is sweet spice, with a sour aftertaste that leaves a pleasant linger. Later tastes are dominated by sweetness, but the sweet/sour clash remains. This bourbon has multiple personalities. Other reviews are bimodal, with strong love/hate camps. I find myself in both. One day, a neat dram is a disaster. The next day, it is a delight. I found my most successful pours with a little ice. If it were half the price, I'd give it three stars. I have to knock one down because is it far too expensive for what it is. The bottle *is* cool, though. I may make a desk lamp out of it.
