Unfortunately I was a little disappointed when I finally tried this one. Don’t get me wrong, this is a fantastic bourbon but no better than the small batch version in my humble opinion. Eventually I will give this another shot just because every barrel is inherently different but for now I don’t see the value in paying extra when I get virtually the same thing in the small batch. My bottling was from warehouse JW and barrel no 25-4G. Did have quite a bit of spice with virtually no burn. Hard to believe it is 50% ABV.
