I really liked it. Put a little dent in the bottle over NYE weekend. It's not a kick in the ass like my Wild Turkey Rare Breed, but I think I like it a little more than my High West Double Rye. You sorta said the same about one of the UN bourbons. Might just be they aren't really for you, in general. Same way I see folks on Reddit rave about Redbreast 12 and if I could give my bottle to someone, I would. Copped some Writer's Tears Double Oak and instantly loved it.
