My first impression after the pour is that this is going to be sweet and rich. The nose is sweet cream and candy nougat. The color is a beautiful polished walnut. I let it rest about 10 minutes and tasted neat in a glencairn. First sip is very impressive! Sweet and smooth with a beautiful finish. Great mouthfeel. The 94 proof is evident with its bite, but there's no "ethanol" elements to detract. Very suave. The contribution of the barrel is way more complex and complete than just about anything I've tasted in a 4 year old bourbon. There's no age statement on the bottle. This is a blended straight bourbon, but the base elements are all 4.y.o. as I understand it. This is an OUTSTANDING bottle! I can't wait to try their single barrel offerings!
