I really enjoyed this. It is spicey and sweet. If you want peanut brittle flavor in your bourbon then this one is NOT for you. I preferred it neat rather than with a drop of water or on a big cube. I’ve now had the Old Carter American Batch 3, the Bourbon Batch 5 and the Rye Batch 4. I really liked them all - in that order of preference. I hate to admit it, but I’m turning into a fan of this (well) sourced whiskey. The price for any of them is high - even at the slightly below MSRP that I was able to pick each up at - but the quality is really good. I read reviews all the time that say a bottle is great, but they can’t justify paying 2x the price of some really good old standby. Personally, I’m getting to the point where I’d rather drink less of something ‘great’ than buy two bottles of something ‘good’. Probably a healthier choice too! 😎
