I really like this bottle, but I'm not providing much detail on the flavors, notes, and finish. My palate for Bourbon/Whiskey is still quite undeveloped, with over 50 documented tastings but fewer than 100 as of 2022. (That's not all consumed, just all savored outside of shots and mixers.)

Vibrant taste, with abundant barley and fermentation notes apparent. Hints of graham cracker, a little caramel and honey. An intriguing mix, somewhat sweet and somewhat light. The flavors are interesting and distinct, but it lacks depth.
If you are a big fan of oak, this might be for you. The aroma is incredible, full of vanilla. On the palate, it's like tasting the inside of the barrel itself. The oak is overwhelming. I had high expectations and was left unsatisfied.
Excellent neat. It has a light spice, medium body, with mild oak, easy cherry/vanilla, and caramel flavors. The finish is smooth with a lingering spice. It's a truly good choice for an everyday drink. I like it.
A store pick from Boulder Beer & Liquor Emporium. A respectable offering from Colorado! It reminds me of a less engaging Four Roses Small Batch. The character of the bottle improves as you drink it.
A solid bourbon! A thoughtful Christmas present from a good friend. The smooth, slightly spicy rye flavor is well-balanced with a mix of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
