I enjoyed this bourbon. Started a little hot for me, but smoothed out in 5-10 minutes with an ice ball. Armagnac barrel brings a lot to this. Heavy Armagnac flavor. I'd say 60% Armagnac to 40% bourbon flavor actually. I enjoyed this, but for those favoring bourbon taste, probably not for them. Unique bourbon that I'm glad I purchased.
All the reviews I’ve read mention that this is disappointing compared to the first release but never having tasted the first release I guess I don’t have anything to compare this to. I think the finish on this is fantastic and I really love this pour. It’s not cheap but I’m not disappointed at all.
Rich, cinnamon, spicy and sweet. Touch of rye and brown sugar. Well done and the richness lowers the proof on the palate.
Definitely a let down after the original collab. I prefer neat and this needs a big rock to mellow out a bit.
just not the same as the first. medicinal nktes are present and does better the more you drink it.
Absolutely incredible. Seek this one out if youre armagnac fan 4.65
