Beautiful bourbon, a lot of toffee flavors, a good bit of apricot, a little pepper. And what a gorgeous color.

It really is delicious stuff. If memory serves, BigO turned me onto that one years ago and it's been a staple for me ever since. But it's caught on of late and is getting hard to find.

I was surprised to get a bottle at list price last week. Befriending the store manager has served me well

Haven't seen it in my relatively Bourbon-deprived neck of the woods in ages. If my memory serves me well, it's medium-rich texturally and very smooth.

yes, rather dense flavors, very smooth. I have not seen it in a very long time. Glad to have it, will go back today and ask for another bottle. And ask to be held a bottle of each pappy when they arrive in March.

Really? All I've ever gotten in bourbon is oak and vanilla. Apparently I was drinking the wrong stuff.

Will look for it at my local ABC store. Sounds like a bourbon I would enjoy. Thanks
