Rock Town makes some pretty good bourbon. The current "Whisky Bible" raves on the distillery. I have been tasting my bottle since Christmas--a gift. This review is for the single barrel, cask strength version, barrel 303. bottle 73of 99, 55.9%ABV. At that proof the entry is a little hot, but is full of luscious flavor. There is brown sugar, oak and barrel char, vanilla, spice, and a little old leather. The finish lingers and is slightly astringent. I think this is a fairly young bourbon, but using small barrels gives a lot of wood interaction. Now, with a few drops of water: nose has a hint of floral honey, little heat on entry, all the flavors are there but less intense, the finish is smoother and allows a touch of sweetness come through. Overall a very satisfying bourbon.

Interesting. Your barrel sounds fairly different than mine was.
