This is a 4 star bourbon for sure but it's certainly over-hyped and over priced and keeps it from being a higher score. Oak, sweet and ripe fruits are the most dominant notes on the nose. The barrel oak is what it is but the sweetness is honey, vanilla cream, corn syrup the fruit is also a sweetness of it's own with nice apple, peach, strawberries. Taste is the apple and peach with the heavy corn syrup and vanilla cream mid palate the light wheat and heavy barrel spice comes into play and the end palate into the finish is strong oak and some barrel char and bitter tannin. Finish is medium with the barrel char and tannin from the oak, and the fruit sweetness lingering on to the end. It's not almost 2-3 times better than the 107 Antique and certainly not better than 4 times the cost of the special reserve. It is cheaper than pappy 12, 15 or 20 though for the same new make.
