I'll admit it right off the bat. I am highly bias when it comes to this bottle. This is easily one of my favorite bottles to drink no matter the situation. It drinks beautifully neat or on the rocks. If you use this to mix though, I would consider that treason.
Respectably priced in the $60 range, sometimes cheaper, this bottle has a splendid nose that reminds you of a sweet almost wood aroma. The finish is both long and enjoyable tasting of oak and butterscotch, a time tested combination.
This was one of the first things I tried when I first started tasting bourbon seriously, and to this day, I find it still stands with the big dogs.
