After seeing mixed reviews on this I wasn't sure how I'd like it - glad I took the chance on it. Amazing bourbon. Needs a serious water cut to enjoy - I do about 1/3 filtered water to 2/3 whiskey for this. Incredible complex taste and finish. Lots of nice cherry notes in addition to the more typical bourbon flavors. Not for the novice drinker, but for an experienced palate this stuff is simply great.
