NEAT NOSE - Sweet. Cherries, caramel, and oak. PALATE - Viscous mouthfeel. Lots of cherry and caramel carried by notes of oak. FINISH - Decent. Medium in length. BUY? - It’s good. Even at $100, its not bad for the price given the age of the bourbons blended in. BUY AGAIN? - I may buy future batches, but I’d like to hear reviews first. I got this on sale for $60 and I’d happily buy others if they go on sale.
The expert review is spot on here. Also this one is 101 proof!? AND drinks like a 90 proof!? Careful with this one bc it is super essy to drink while delivering good flavor. Better than the VII for sure. A nice jump in age and some cool stats to increase value like nonchill filtered and tweaking the proof to benefit the flavor of the whiskey.
Had notes of cherry and vanilla, I dont remember much my father drank it all, Great fathers day gift.
