Batch 19-12, 115.8 proof. I’ve had this bottle open for a few weeks and was impressed from the initial taste with the quality, viscosity, and flavor of this Bourbon, which I find rather unique. I’m having trouble pinpointing any specific or dominant flavor, but Honey and Almond come to mind, with a slight touch of cherry on the finish. Oak does not come through at all, which is surprising to me at this proof. Overall, I’m just loving this unique and well balanced Bourbon, and the flavors seem to pop more and more as the weeks go by. Just a damn good Bourbon that I was fortunate enough to land in a trade, as I’ve never seen the cask strength anywhere in the upper Midwest. If all batches are this good, it’s on my permanent Bourbon wish list.
