Finished in Bordeaux wine barrels. The wine finish is well balanced on the nose, and complements the Bourbon. The palate follows through with the nose, with the wine cask intertwined and balanced harmoniously with the Bourbon. Easily the finest Bourbon that's been finished that I've had!! At $130 it's hard to call this a bargain, but have tried many costing much more that were not of this quality. My score was 95.5
