Beautiful bourbon, smooth and balanced sweet vs heat that opens up with splash of water or ice cube. Toasted cereal and leather nose. Sweet vanilla, grain, and oak on the pallet, with some modest heat at 60% ABV, but doesn't overwhelm the taste. Finish comes with alcohol and spice but finishes quickly. A little H2O tempers and lengthens the finish. Bottles vary by the single barrel selected--I got a good one.
