55%? Get out of town! There is a long burn from the cinnamon flavor (which is excessive), but it is not too cinnamon. The bourbon is quite smooth aside from the cinnamon, but it's flavor is pretty muddled. It has some sweetness with cinnamon, some minerals, a bit of orange mixed in there, and maybe some toffee sweetness with a hint of mint backing it all toward the finish. It's pretty good, but the flavors all blur together. The flavor is strong enough, but not interesting enough. It's a passable bourbon that is certainly worth sipping, but it isn't delightful. The cinnamon leaves me with mixed feelings because it adds some variety, but it stands out too much. Overall, I'd appreciate less cinnamon. There is definitely some wood in here, but it is not overwhelming. Some rye tartness intrudes to my dismay. What this really makes me think of is Wild Turkey Master's Keep Revival with some of the wood replaced by cinnamon. The Wild Turkey has some more distressingly bitter flavors, but also a bit more interesting stuff going on. It's like a spice vs wood trade-off and I think the wood wins it. The toffee is agreeable. With less cinnamon, I would enjoy this a lot more. The cinnamon interferes with the depth of this whiskey, but mixed with the vanilla it does at least being forward a bit of natural sweetness. The more I explore the depth here, the more I realize that it is just the cinnamon holding this back. I think. Toffee, vanilla, and red fruit stand out here (along with cinnamon, of course). Rye and red fruit give way to vanilla and floral notes as the flavor progresses, though the progression is subtle. The flavor isn't too bad, but the whiskey isn't too interesting either. The cinnamon is a bit much, hit otherwise it competes with E.H. Taylor Small Batch and beats it slightly. The sweetness and caramel are quite enjoyable. Sweet, toffee, tons of cinnamon. This is very sweet, but has little depth and too much cinnamon. There are bits of anise and rye, but they tend toward the mild side. The cinnamon is a bit much, but the wood, vanilla, mild tartness, hints of clove, and creaminess are great. The flavors are all generally good, though it could do with a bit less cinnamon and rye. Aside from this, this is really interesting and tasty. The cinnamon and vanilla really stand out here with the rye bringing in a hint of snickerdoodle and a somewhat fruity finish. If this weren't such a harsh drink, it would almost be like candy. Fairly rich, but not tremendously woody. Lots of cinnamon and vanilla and some leather. It has a little complexity but not a ton. Tons of vanilla and cinnamon with some less pungeant toffee and milk chocolate. It's woody, but not too much. There's a hint of sour cherry in here too and a fairly bitter backing, but not one that overwhelms. Tons of cinnamon harshness and a lot of vanilla. There's some wood and caramel too. This is a fairly sweet drink. There's something a bit fruity in here too. The warmth of the alcohol is tasty, but the complexity is lacking. There are elements of tartness and bitterness but they are not super strong. The hint of coconut in the background is nice. This has nothing on the complexity and general aged, bitter richness that Booker's Kitchen Table has. It's good and avoids the herbal notes present in Booker's, but it also tastes somewhat like candy and certainly doesn't taste as old or strong, in part due to the Booker's bitterness and in part due to the sheer strength of the Booker's ABV.
