This is easily dessert in a glass: palate is chocolate cake and coffee. Oily mouthfeel with sourdough bread as a background note. The trip finishes up with cherry and oak. This is quite similar to another double casked bourbon: the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Both are stand outs from the status quo. (And interestingly enough, both have Brown-Forman as the parent company.) My Rating Glossary: Two Stars: "I'd rather be drinking lite beer." Two 1/2 Stars: "Posh rubbish." Three Stars: "I love whisk(e)y. This is average love." Three 1/2 Stars: "May buy again." Four Stars: "I've got to get you into my life." Four 1/2 Stars: "Better than drugs." Five Stars: "Life is good. Whisky makes it better."
