The hardest to find of the Whiskey Row series, I managed to pick one of these up in January just as they were opening a case. Because there are limited double maturation bourbon products on the market, I was very interested to try this in light of the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked store pick I got last year. The nose is dense with oak sweetness: vanilla, brown sugar, buttery caramel, bread pudding, and cinnamon. Surprisingly I don't get any fruit notes. It smells higher than its proof, likely due to the strong oak influence. The cinnamon/bread pudding notes hit harder on the tongue. Of course the oak and rye spice are still present. It is really sweet, but very delicious. The finish is medium, and is not overtly tannic from the oak. I see some reviews mention a medicinal quality, I get none of that. This bourbon is defined by oak and sugar. For me it is the quintessential "dessert whiskey." I really enjoy one or two glasses, but after that the sweetness is overwhelming. This is a bourbon I could drink all day, and is sweet and drinkable enough to introduce friends to more complex and expensive bourbons. It is $2 less and better than Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, but much harder to find in NC. I like this a lot, but I personally wouldn't recommend going out of your way to buy this if you haven't tried the Woodford first. Try that, see if you like the profile, then look for this. I think Woodford was more bready and less sweet, and overall I think this has a more enjoyable profile. But that was a store pick so my opinion is muddled.
