Decided to give this a try after the 2019 Whiskey Advocate annual ranks came out (I realize the select is the one in the top rankings, but I haven't found that one in stores yet). Tried side by side with the Four Single which I quite enjoy. The nose is sweet on this one. First taste is surprisingly spicy. Almost to the point it robs the dram of its potential. Once it mellows the corn starts to come through in a strong way followed by a red hot candy finish. Overall a nice pour for the price point, but I'd pay the little extra for the single barrel in my opinion.
