I'm more a Single Malt guy, and frankly with all the hype around this bourbon I expected to be disappointed. I was not. Though I've not tasted many bourbons to this point, this is definitely one of the best I've had, if not the best. Sipped neat, the high proof is not off-putting. Lot's of caramel/honey/vanilla going on. Bit of cinnamon. Got a fleeting hint of leather, distant oak. Give it some time in the glass, and the oak shows up a little more. Nice!
