A powerful bourbon in every aspect. High rye aroma, with vanilla, caramel, pear, cinnamon, crème brûlée, berries, and charred oak. It's quite hot and spicy at first on the palate, but once your mouth adjusts, it softens into rich and spicy cinnamon, vanilla, char, rye, caramel, cherry, and pear. Hot initially, but give it time. Truly excellent stuff. A long, spicy finish.

I could discuss this dram for ages. It's packed with butterscotch! A strong aroma of caramel and vanilla. The taste has creme brûlée and toffee. The finish is long and delightful. It leaves your entire mouth satisfied. 4.5/5 a definite winner
Tasted neat with a friend... It was initially sharp, but after a few moments and a bit of comfort, it mellowed out. I detect notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak. Delicious. A brief review because of family time. But it's delicious.
Another excellent MGP product, though aged in Mississippi. It has a seven-year age statement and is cask strength, offering rich butterscotch notes.
Sweet, with a bit of spice and bite. A sweet, fruity finish. Smells like caramel.
The smell is great. It's not very smooth and has a strong finish.
