Oh boy! I needed to uncorked this for a tasting tomorrow night. It's always better after it airs out. Simply delish! Note the barrel finishes.

I'll have to pour another one.
 
Boy this is crazy stuff. It is a barrel pick from a wine and spirits store. I burned my mouth a bit with some chili a few days ago. When I tasted it at the store I just about didn't buy it but I pulled the trigger. I also picked up a bottle for a friend here. 119 proof and it was hot. I tried some water and some ice. The butter pecan came through. The further down past the neck, the better it got. Smooth and creamy. Buttery, caramel/butterscotch with a toasted oak hint. It's interesting, the guy that picked this got apricot snd baking spices. There is no wrong here. You taste and smell what you get.

Don't overlook a store pick or a barrel pick. The store usually offers samples if you ask. They are often much better than the shelf bottles of the same brand.

@ZMan67S Here's a video of their top 4 bourbons. I tend to agree. ANd whether you agree with their 1-4 choices they give some good tasting notes that may be your favorites. I have all 4 and I might try them myself and see what I come up with. Some of their bottles may be different than the ones I own. Different batches (depending on how big they are) can make a difference.
