I have had a lot of different MGP in my day. But this one stands out as the best by a good margin. The nose smells of pure candy. Caramel, Vanilla, Raspberries, and honeyed raisins are all prevalent on the palate. The finish is medium with a nice candied oak that lingers in the background. This is a desert whiskey in it’s purest form. A little bit of rye spice since we are talking MGP here, but it’s aged so well that the spice is nice and rounded off. 11 and 12 year old blended MGP honey barrels for $79 a bottle?? Sign me up all day long. You pay way more than this for mic drop and four gate for a lesser product. Remus Repeal is one of the best kept secrets in bourbon and is one of my all time favorites after letting this bottle open up into the beauty it has become.
