Didn’t think I like rum finished bourbons but this is the second in two days that I’ve liked! Extra sweet in the body that makes it very enjoyable neat. A lot more heat than you’d expect for the proof though.

Hot for the proof. Decent flavor. Its good but an odd aftertaste. Floral almost.
Has some tropical flavors. Has quite a bit of oak, which i like.
