This is a cask strength bourbon bottled from a single barrel, so it is presented at full proof rather than being diluted down before bottling. That style often gives a fuller texture and a more direct, concentrated expression of oak, sweetness, and spice.
Because it is selected from one barrel, the exact character can vary from bottle to bottle. For a novice drinker, expect a bolder, higher-strength bourbon experience that may open up with a few drops of water.
