I will say I wasn't planning to review this since it was just opened and I like for my whiskeys to breathe for several weeks to see where they go, but here we are. My initial experience has compelled me to review this right away. N: A dark, rich, face punch in the best possible way! Dark, rich cherries (and maybe some other stone fruits, but everthing I'm getting screams "red" for what that's worth). It's almost syrupy. Old, rich, and 105 proof. The kind of nose you want to dissappear into. P: Cherries! Expected from the nose, but not from the brand. I'm a huge Jim Beam fan, but this feels off profile. I'm getting no nuttiness. Easy entry onto your tongue and then just hangs out. The cherries are the big note, but then it hits you with other flavors and then puts the cherry as an exclamation point to each statement. Take a sip and then just let this Bourbon tell you it's story. I may be getting hints of all that went into this blend, but it feels like it is reverse chronological order where it starts with the 22 year and meanders towards the 7. This is so well put together! If it opens up any then it's a 5.25? I'll have to revisit. There is absolutely no bitterness here, but it still drinks so old! I'll say it serves up the 20+ year old Bourbons on a platter and then rounds off the edges so you are left to sit with the goodness for an extended period of time. Bravo! The Noe family is just showing off at this point. You know, blending flawless whiskey is actually hard for some people...This is an all time favorite! It has exceeded my expectations and that is very rare. F: Literally goes for a minute if not longer and slowly replays all of the notes from the palate. Just amazing! If you are lucky enough to encounter this one, get your dram and then just take the next hour and let the Bourbon take you on an adventure.
