Overall, this is pretty impressive for a craft offering. None of those overly offensive young craft notes, some nice decent complexity in there and the classic bourbon flavors throughout. The youth sticks through here and there but for just over 4 years its knocks most other young craft offerings I have had out. I can’t wait to see how their stuff is at an older age.
