Neat Review. First, was every bit of its high proof. Tons of heat going in and on the palate... spicy.... I really wasn’t feeling it. I did have a second taste later in the evening because I wanted to give it another chance and I’m glad I did. Although it was still hot at the nose, I felt it settled nicely on the palate this time. Still had some heat but not as overpowering... perhaps because it opened up a bit since sitting? Either way, I did enjoy the Bulleit. Would I buy another bottle myself... probably not, but I wouldn’t shy away from it if offered for sure.
