Nose: Barbacoa beef spices? Classic vanilla and caramel sweetness. Palate: initial sweetness, but of oak, followed by a sharp bitter taste. Finish: So strange but I just get tons of beef barbacoa spices on a medium finish. May have just been the night. I originally got this at a bar and it was one of the best bourbons I had ever tasted, but the bottle I got was not of the same batch, I personally find the small batch to be a bit more consistent, but the right bottle/batch of this would easily be a 95+ for me. Back to the hunt.
