Updated bottle 5605 barreled on 8-25-08. Best bottle yet, this is 4th one I’ve bought. Classic on the nose ( caramel, vanilla wafer, honey, with a subtle oak). Perfect balance on palate and medium to long finish. All the same flavors from nose come through and very smooth at 100 proof. I can see why this has won the awards it has and at price point if every bottle was like this one I would have a large stockpile. Sadly getting hard to find.
