NEAT NOSE - Sweet. Cherries, caramel, and oak. PALATE - Thick mouthfeel. Abundant cherry and caramel flavors supported by oak notes. FINISH - Satisfactory. Medium duration. WORTH BUYING? - It's good. Even at $100, it's a reasonable value considering the age of the blended bourbons. REPURCHASE? - I might consider future batches, but I'd prefer to see reviews first. I acquired this on sale for $60 and would gladly buy others if they become available at a discount.

The expert's assessment is accurate. This is surprisingly 101 proof, yet drinks like 90 proof! Proceed with caution as it's remarkably smooth for its strength and flavor. It surpasses the VII, benefiting from an increased age statement and appealing attributes like being non-chill filtered and proofed for optimal taste.
Tasted like cherry and vanilla, I don't recall much since my dad drank it all, a great Father's Day present.
Neck pour, decanted for 10 minutes. Thin body, forward oak, with a sweet lingering finish. Tastes like cola.
A taste of honeycomb, burnt sugar, apricot, pear, rye, milk chocolate, and dill.
Cherries, leather, and oak dominate the initial aroma.
