Giving this one another try after my bottle has opened up. Enjoying a glass neat. Nose - nice light and sweet. A lot of vanilla, fruits, caramel, and some alcohol burn. Taste - nice sweet and spicy. A ton of baking spices, vanilla and cinnamon candies. A nice burn throughout and especially in the end. The finish is nice and long. Overall - good high proof bourbon I hear a lot about but the hefty price tag and limited availability draw me back from rating this higher than a 6-6.5. Just expect more flavors for the proof and the price tag
