99/100 one of my top 5 favorites of all time.
I had this at a Russian Bar in a hotel, it was simply fantastic.
Bottled at 40%abv (low for a bourbon), with a mahogany color.
On the nose is a refined bourbon, perfumed, old grapes almost citric, peat, impression to be diluted on wine, elegant almonds, hard toffee candy, wet forest and bananas. OUTSTANDING.
On the palate is even better, all spice notes, ginger specially, very smooth, beautiful, cough syrup, caramel, wine grapes, nutty. Finish is medium and spicy. Incredible.
Overall is 99/100. Really fantastic. GO GET ONE NOW!

Many 90 to 100 proof bourbons cant carry the jock of Basil Hayden.
