Neck pour (not really sure how that affects anything, but I’ve always wanted to say ‘neck pour’.)
Smell reminds me a lot of Maker’s Mark, but, dare I say, less intense. This does, however, translate to less of an ethanol whiff, so it’s a bit easier to pick up on the flavors.
Caramel, cinnamon, vanilla and some juicy fruit flavors are discernible on the palate.
Oddly enough, the aftertaste and the smell in the glass after the liquid has evaporated reminds me of Jameson Black Barrel. The same sweet, fruity notes are present, but this is much richer and darker than JBB.
The reason I’m giving it 4 stars is based on comparisons to other wheated bourbons in the same (retail) price range. I’d drink this all day if I could find it at retail, but there’s no way it’s worth more than ~$55.
