First time trying this, yes a lot of hype so hard to be truly objective. That being said I won’t get carried away with all the flavors that come together in this. The other reviews are accurate except I don’t get any type of mint. Just delicious vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, and perfect amount of oak all come together boldly and beautifully. It’s delicious, truly an exceptional bourbon that is going to make me reevaluate others I have rated before. I love pure higher proof stuff but this is the only bourbon where (to me) everything really came together perfectly and will make truly appreciate what finish and mouthfeel are all about. A 1.5 finger pour neat lasted about 30 min, enjoyed it immensely, what a great experience. Can’t wait to share this with my friends and family....
