Neat. Neck pour. I debated what to do with this bottle for a few days. It’s tempting to trade it off when it’s worth 10x’s more than my own investment but I also haven’t had it. And I like trying new things, thus here we are.
Nose on this is delightful. Sweet oak and caramel mixed with a blend of apple and strawberries. Some nice vanilla sweet cream. Honestly the fruit coming off this is quite surprising. Gosh there is some angel food cake resting behind all this.
Texture is oily but thin. Sweet oak dominating my tongue immediately. Surprised this is only 8 years old. That angel food cake is coming through too. Transitions right into those strawberries covered in vanilla sweet cream. Strawberries remain on the legs. Okay, I like this a lot. Angel food cake covered in sweet cream and topped with strawberries.
Okay this is delightful. I was not expecting such crisp, fruit flavors to dominate the experience of this wheater. From the oak on the nose to the strawberry on the tongue, this is quite the delicious treat. No regrets opening it!

Glad you enjoyed this one!
@Milliardo No regrets! Makes me laugh how people call this one overrated. At its MSRP price point it is one of my favorite 95 proof and under pours now.
@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington Too true!
@Milliardo perhaps another disclosure or commandment - never flip a bottle you can enjoy and will likely never see again
I wish I could like this twice for you doing the right thing and enjoying this yourself!
