Wow, nose just oozing maple syrup, creme brulee, and cinnamon rolls. There's plenty of oak and allspice there too but it is bakeshop sweet on the nose. Dill and chili pepper stick out more the longer it sits. Smells decadent and hedonistic. Reminds me of a sweeter GTS.
Man this just coats the entire mouth and tongue beautifully. Starts with roasted peanuts and cinnamon but quickly turns into rich caramel, bacon, toasted marshmallow, lots of sweet oak, vanilla, and dark chocolate. Warm Kentucky Hug with vanilla, graham crackers, and honey lasting for minutes on the finish.
A complete bourbon start to finish. Doesn't have much oak tannins despite its age and its just so rich and mouth coating, its hard to stop drinking it. I had this at 4.75 before I started picking up the bacon note and that just threw it over the top, I had no choice. Short list of top bourbons for me

Wow, I'm not sure I've read of such hedonism before!
