My top bourbon! I had this while visiting the distillery. To my mind, this is the best available. Far superior to Pappy.

A superb Rye whiskey from barrel number 36, featuring notes of wood, spice, dark chocolate, and a lengthy finish.
The spice and rye are unbearable. Honestly, I couldn't finish it; I was not impressed.
Very smooth, a little sweet, with pleasant notes of baking spice and butterscotch.
Actually, it's the 7-year-old, which isn't listed here, but it's delicious.
Quite smooth for a rye. Delightful.
