π this isn't going to sound nice, but it is. Bubblegum toothpaste. Idk, I kinda like it π Standard, well aged, oakey, caramel goodness π So smooth. 14 years in a barrel really got rid of that ethanol Rare to find a 14 year aged bourbon and even more rare to find one that tastes good and not over-oaked. I'll take this over Elijah Craig 18 π

Reviews

Multiple flavors come through which makes it hard to identify. Very smooth and sweet but nothing stands out. I donβt taste vanilla and carmel like the description. Probably not worth the price.
Little bit of smoke, vanilla, sweet, overall a good pour.
Smooth, great bourbon, clean taste
Smooth and balanced
