The Representative is a high-proof bourbon with a stated age of 4 years. For a novice drinker, that generally means a bold style with concentrated sweetness, oak, and spice, while still showing some youthful energy.
At 58.0% ABV, it is likely to drink with more intensity than standard bottlings. A few drops of water can help open it up and make the balance of vanilla, caramel, grain, and oak easier to explore.
