Im a major OF fan. The 1920 1897 and Sig100 are first class whiskeys imo. This is a lower verification take on the equation giving recognition to legacy with the barrel mixing. Poured perfect nose is phenomenal. Candy apple cherry pie with the mixture latticed over the top caramel and prepared oak. Has the trademark varnish note I appreciate. Sense of taste is substantial portion of nose characteristics in addition to some rye zest kick without the additional warmth and show of the higher confirmation making it increasingly available. Experienced whiskey consumers can even now get locally available as the flavors are powerful profound and exceptionally fulfilling. Incredible harmony between the sweet dull fruity caramels and oak even a smidgen of chocolate sneaks in. Finish is customary biting the dust oak and cinnamon with fruity suggestions that wait. I like the enormous conveyance of barrel quality whiskeys yet this at 90 pf hits a sweet spot. I feel its somewhat overrated ( 38$ at Absolute wine) however agreeable enough I may purchase once more. Im a sum OF fanboy so bring that into account............89/100........lotsa yummy flavor with hearty oak and sooooo simple to drink.....Think of Woodford with more barrel pop
