Neat. Neck pour. Okay, I went into this thinking “$35 for a MGP? This will be 4 years old, young, green and disappointing.” Bought it anyway because I haven’t had it and I like trying new things. Wow, I was wrong. The nose on this is so different than typical MGP. The lead note I am getting is root beer, which is a new one for any MGP I have had. Delicious vanilla, graham cracker, honey, and light caramel. Getting a nice rye and pepper note on the end. So inviting. Texture is a bit watery but also oily too. Thin but coats. Getting red licorice on the tongue, which transitions into a root beer float with a blast of vanilla. On the finish I am getting some awesome cherries and berries drizzled in sweet caramel. Legs are decent for the proof. Graham cracker and honey shows up on the tail end. Wow, this bottle is a third of the way gone in two hours. Crushing it with a friend. Perfect bourbon for some Friday day drinking. This has to be the best sub-$40 MGP I have had. Kills Eight and Sand and George Remus. Not at all what I was expecting based on the price. Phenomenal blend.
