Excellent high proof, high rye bourbon. My bottle clocked in at 125.9 proof. Tasted it both neat and with a tiny splash of water in a Glencairn. Nose has a lot of spice and cinnamon. Definitely some burn from the proof. Spicy and warm on the palate. I taste cinnamon throughout with hints of caramel and leather. Really improved after adding a splash of water to mellow it out. Great score for the price.
