Nose: not getting a lot of nose. Very faint vanilla and oak. Very surprising considering it’s a 100 proof. Palate: bold flavors which are surprising based on nose. I get “peppery peanuts” with a bit of chocolate and honey at the end. Buttery texture Finish: possibly one of the strongest finishes I’ve ever had in a bourbon. Finish is medium to long and full of above flavors, especially peanut. Overall: An amazing pour at $40 a bottle. With that being said, I never tried the former 6 year old HH BiB which sold for less than half. I’ve heard it was as amazing and adding a year was more about marketing to add to the bottom line, but just like McKenna, I will happily pay $40 for a bottle of this quality.
