Simply put, this is what most K&L Bourbon drinkers are craving these days: very well aged Kentucky classics at reasonable prices and high proof. While some might argue that they really want cask strength and that prices in KY are getting out of control, this bottle I think still delivers on the parameters given the state of things in the whiskey world. It also falls squarely in the coveted "allocated Bourbon" category, and we just don't get enough quantity to put these offers on blast very often these days. The very respectable 100 proof has enough heat to carry the full load of the immensely flavorful whiskey. Butterscotch, toffee, caramel, saw dust, syrup - both maple and vanilla, and brandied cherries all fill the nose. The palate is sweet, but balanced by a lovely kick and a mild pepper note. It's full and mouth coating and the finish is long and bright. Frankly, there isn't much more I could ask of a great Bourbon.
