For me, this is the spirit that began my appreciation for Three Ships. I'm not a big fan of the 5 and 10-year-old versions, but their limited editions have been outstanding. This bourbon cask bottling is a complete success, offering a more complex taste and a stronger character.

The top offering in the Three Ships lineup. It has a more intricate character. Difficult to find outside of South Africa.
Very pleasing. Similar flavor profile to Jack Daniels but smoother. Same cost as JD in South Africa.
