Tasting: 1.5 oz. (thanks to my wife not liking hers, thus doubling mine) pour in sampling glen cairn glass at Heaven Hill tasting event. First neat, then with 2 drops.
Nose (4.0): Butterscotch, leather and tobacco. This is a bourbony traditional nose that was the star of this sample.
Palate (3.5) Caramel and oak dominate with some smokiness on the back palate. This is a sweeter tasting bourbon that got a bit dry for me
Finish (3.5) Not bad. More oak and a lingering pecan comes in at the end.
Overall: I liked the ECBP A119 along with this tasting better. At 249/bottle I could not pull the trigger. It is a good bourbon, not a great one in my opinion.
