Batch no.16: 118.5 proof The nose is understated for a bourbon with that much character. Oak is the most prominent scent. That oak carries through consistently. Pleasantly warm as expected from cask strength. Subtle vanilla and tobacco notes emerge toward the end.

Batch 4. Minimum 2 years aging stated. Very enthusiastic about this one. A few more years in the barrel and this will be excellent. Similar profile to 1792.
Smells like barbecue pork. Nice on the palate, not as hot as you'd expect for 59.6%. Very nice finish. I like it.
Outstanding value for the price!! A sweet, flavorful taste bud explosion 💥. I cannot praise it enough.
Bourbon with a high corn content. It's good, but some of the store selections are outstanding.
Smooth with an oaky finish. The aroma is primarily alcohol. It has a pleasant warmth.
