A friend shared a pour of this while I was down in AZ on business. It’s absurd! It’s like drinking bourbon shot out of a cannon - the flavors are so amped up that my brain didn’t know what to do with them. I had to put water on it and let it sit and meld back together before I could wrap my head around it.

You know, we all have our own approach and mine has turned into very tiny sips now. Doesn't matter how much is in the glass. Always neat (at least at first) and always tiny sips. My insides could never handle tossing anything down, except maybe 80 proof.
@PBMichiganWolverine & @Clarkebar yeah, totally agree; the quality is there but it requires both patience and attention - when I have the time, I can see this being interesting to play around with but I don’t always want to have to work so hard or wait so long to get my whiskey to an enjoyable state.
That's about it. Try any Booker's as well and your mouth and esophagus will send a message. As the Wicked Witch of the East says ... "these things must be handled delicatetly."
I found I needed to keep this out open for a while before sipping it. Was too potent. But a bit of air and water really helped.
