This is a genuine rarity. Only 3000 bottles were made, a 20yo bourbon, John E. Fitzgerald was an excise man who had the key of the distillery, and he drank from the finest casks: yes, this an enhanced "Larceny bourbon".
45% abv, chesnut color.
On the nose is INCREDIBLE AND INTERESTING. Gum. Candy. Cotton candy. Solvent. Milka chocolate. SPECTACULAR.
On the palate is unbeatable. A sherried, spice explosion. Wonderful.
But....
The aftertaste is inexistent. No aftertaste at all :(
Overall i think this is a great great dram, but not having aftertaste... well, a lot of points were deducted. I love the story and i love the 375ml bottle, but you got to be true to your ratings so: 80 over 100.
And it surely feels like more.
