At this price point ($55) I'm not sure there's much out there I would consider better. Like other uncut, unfiltered bourbons the flavors just linger. The first few sips are spicier with the burn of ethanol. Tasting again brings more leather and sweater, warmer flavors. Eventually vanilla shows up with a dance of other flavors that last, and last. You could pay far more and scour release lines and not find any better.
