Cherries on the nose, but there's a deeper note there that's a little interesting. Dark mellow taste at first, then switched from a dark fruit to a medicinal taste that lingers into the tail. Not even sure what all I'm tasting, but its certainly unique.
Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 13 Year Old-Fashioned Sour Mash Bourbon (125 Entry Proof)
About this bottle
The bourbons in this experimental release are allowed to "sour" prior to the addition of yeast to begin fermentation, in contrast to most modern bourbons which are soured with a small amount of setback from a previous batch. This one is aged for thirteen years and entered into barrel at 125 proof; for comparison, its paired bottle is entered at 105 proof. Both are bottled at 90 proof. Note: This is sold in 375ml sized bottles.

Smooth toffee borders on butterscotch. Full oily mouth feel. Splash of water and it really opens up. If you come across a bottle, it's worth the price
Picked up a bottle 12/29/15! Can't wait to try it...
Holy smoothness batman
