A sample from dthom as part of the "whiskey transfer program". Nose: Traditiona bourbon nose. Vanilla, caramel, apple, pear, baking spices, very sweet with background oak and some ethanol punch from the high proof. Smells really nice. As it sits in the glass I start to get dried fruit like raisin and date with banana. Flavor: Caramelized nuts, vanilla, dark sugars, banana, dried fruits, and a little bit of a floral note. Finish: Whoa spicy! Quite a bit of ethanol punch from the proof, barrel spice and baking spices galore! A very drying toasty finish that offsets the sweetness nicely. Cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. The rye spice hits hard and then fades fast for a medium length finish that goes back towards those banana bread notes. Nothing super exciting here but it's a solid barrel strength bourbon. I enjoyed it but maybe a little "checks the box" for the usual price point above $60. A little more rye spice on the finish than I'd like. Overall if this were $45 I'd say it'd be a better buy.
