This additional rye in the mashbill makes a noticeable difference in the sip. While the nose is light considering the bourbon's proof, the palate and finish tell a much different story. Full of creamy flavors that blend well with dollops of spice, the bourbon transforms from light on the nose into an easy sipper that still offers ample spice. While prices are high and bottle counts are low, those that find themselves with one in hand should enjoy the results.

With all of our notes in; we asked one another...'was this a purchase we shouldn't have made'. By far it is not a bad purchase. We would not tell anyone not to buy it. If you see it; snag it...it's a low run anyways (something like 1200 bottles).

"I like this pour. I think the 107 proof mark allows for a fair balance of flavor and heat. The strong palate was particularly appealing, although I think from start to finish this was a solid experience."
