Camille Townsend 4.0

Drank this neat, as usual... On the aroma: Butterscotch, orange zest, and oak. Tastes: Smooth, caramel notes, dark cherry (likely from the sherry staves), baking chocolate, long ending, minimal burn which is expected at 90 proof. Overall: A really solid find! I'd definitely buy again and at the price point I wouldn't be mad about mixing in an old fashion (if that's your thing). There are layers of flavor here that will keep you wanting to taste more. Buy it if you can find it!

Verna Campbell 2.3

It's acceptable, but I wouldn't purchase a bottle. Superior alternatives exist at this price point. It lacks complexity and distinct character, likely a consequence of expedited maturation. Time cannot be bypassed, and attempts to do so yield inferior results. Bottles at a third of the cost, such as Ancient Age or Very Old Barton, are superior.

Ursula Marshall 3.5

Smooth and sweet, but not excessively so. A classic bourbon character enhanced by the warmth of sherry cask staves, with underlying vanilla and caramel notes. Adding a little water softens the subtle warmth and increases the lightness of the complexity. I personally favor drinking this neat. It offers great value for sharing a bottle with companions.

Amari Weldon 2.5

Nose: A pungent sweetness, reminiscent of white wine. Palate: The sherry leads, followed by a touch of wood, though nothing truly memorable. It's perfectly acceptable.

Loren Starks 3.8

Smooth, slightly sweet ending (probably due to the sherry casks). Smoother than I thought it’d be. Nice bourbon.

Luz Mchugh 2.5

Smooth, but with a somewhat peculiar taste that isn't enjoyable.
