Added a new bottle to the stash ...
Sampled it last night ... And I'm not going to give a long rundown on my thoughts about it, because typically I like to have it more than once before really giving an opinion.
First thoughts ...
Holy spice ... what an interesting bourbon. Neat, or first poured on ice, there's a whole lot of spice going on, both on the front end and especially on the back end, and it lingers. Nose is light, sweet, slightly fruity ... vanilla, honey maybe? The spice mellowed as it sat on the ice cube. There's a whole lot going on in this bourbon. Not quite sure where it falls on my list at this point ... like I said, I like sipping it on two separate occasions before I give it a rank.
Data Point: Warehouse 5N (or is it SN?), Barrel 54-6V
Fun fact ... Four Roses Single Barrel is now my 9th bottle in my stash. I added a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon that I have primarily used as a mixer. Suppose I should sample that one alone before it's all gone.
