I have a bottle of this in my collection, I just haven't opened the bottle yet. I decided to get a pour this sat night and really glad I did. At first nose it smelled good, got the caramel and a faint butter smell. At first sip I got caramel, raisin and in the background I got a faint butter taste. This bourbon is incredibly flavorful and smooth, I knew going in that it was a quality bourbon but my hats off to to the distiller. I believe Henderson did this one. This is an absolutely incredible bourbon. I kind of see Bourbon going in this direction as Master distillers push the envelope and try to come up with incredible tasting bourbons, and adjusting the mash bills and finishing barrels. I realize some people may think this bourbon cheats a little by aging in port casks, but there's no denying the exceptional taste, quality and smooth medium finish of this bourbon
