I didn't expect to enjoy rum-finished bourbons, but this is the second one in two days that I have! It's extra sweet in the body, making it very enjoyable neat. However, it has considerably more heat than one might anticipate for its proof.
Very high proof. Flavor is decent. It's good but has a strange finish. Almost floral.
Contains some tropical flavors. It has a considerable amount of oak, which I appreciate.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
