Bold bourbon flavors make this the most mouth-watering whiskey I've ever had. There's more oak then I'm accustomed to. (But I've heard that that is in line with what to expect from Wild Turkey.) I added water, and regretted it instantly. Water does away with the viscosity - my favorite part - and leaves the mouth bone dry. Overall, a surprisingly different arrival and a memorable finish. I'm going to let this sit in the bottle for a while and let it oxidize. It may get better.
