No matter how much I could have hyped this in advance, I would have been unprepared for the experience. It smells like a tray of hot caramel cinnamon rolls; dry, yeasty, sweet, sugary, vanilla. The taste is all of that and so much more. It starts rich and sweet, led by brown sugar, caramel and vanilla, but then leads to a surprise snap of dill and mint (and rosemary?) Before turning just ever so slightly dry and woody. Finish is more mint and a bit of oak, leaving a very nice numbness on the cheek and gums for several minutes. Incredible. This is without question the best bourbon I've ever had.

@LeeEvolved - we’re hunkered down at my cape cod property. hoping for just enough stormy weather to make things cozy. Hope Dorian doesn’t decide to take a left turn. :)
@Adaminak @Rick_M - looks like Dorian hit the Outer Banks pretty hard. Lots of people trapped on the smaller islands. We dodged the brunt of it here in Virginia, but my golf trip to Myrtle Beach next week got killed.
@Rick_M Best of luck. A lot of people here didn't take it seriously and were unprepared for how big it was by the time it arrived. Hopefully it sheds a bit of power and size before it hits the Outer Banks.
@Adaminak - congrats on that. Headed my way now.
@Rick_M a lot of broken branches, and no electricity, but no flooding or broken windows. Looks like we got lucky this time.
@Adaminak - good move, unless you go back to a house under water. :)
@Rick_Moved to Charleston, SC last spring. Alaska is great, but every trip out of the state involves 6-8 hours of air travel, and that gets old after awhile.
@Adaminak - I always thought you lived in Alaska. At one time?
@Rick_M, it was blind luck. I'm in Columbia, SC tonight because of Dorian and we picked Home Team BBQ for dinner. They have a rather nice list of top shelf bottles for $25 an ounce. If I'm still here tomorrow, might go back just for a pour of the Parker's 27yr!
@Rick_M write Trump a letter. Just make sure to use a black sharpie. ☺️
@Adaminak - need to bribe a senator get one of these bottles in my area.
