A bourbon that's so subtle, it needs to be enjoyed alone, without distractions. One of the best aromas I've had the pleasure of experiencing. This is the second time pouring from the bottle (still almost full) into a copita, letting it rest for 20 minutes before tasting. Refined. Intricate. Satisfying, with a lingering finish that goes on for ages... (I'm exaggerating a bit). I wasn't sure after the first taste, but I'm convinced now. Cheers.

The nose has a good bourbon character with brown sugar and fruit. The taste is primarily fresh corn with minimal oak. The finish is short with modest oak. It bears a slight resemblance to Doc Holliday, but less potent. It's an easy drink, neither tannic nor overly alcoholic. The quality doesn't justify the price compared to other bourbons; for instance, a PVW15 enjoyed afterward was significantly more pleasing. Needs improvement.
