Neck Pour, just opened, sat out for 10 min. Very condensed black cherry vanilla and oak on the nose Very warming and mouth quenching on the taste due to high proof. Bourbons, in my opinion, have a congruence from nose to taste with few curve-balls. That being said there is something very savory that translates all the way through; from nose to finish. Spice arrives on the finish, allowing this to linger for awhile. I imagine water might be a good addition in the summer time. The low cost and cask strength make this a must buy. 5.0 - go out and buy all of the stock you can find. 4.0 - must buy at least one bottle before you die. 3.0 - solid, must try at a bar, or mooch from a friend. 2.0 - didn't like it, you may. 1.0 - you may have the palate of my dog, and he licks his own ass.
