Poured from 750mL bottle (batch 1; bottled Dec 2023; blue label, burgundy wax). Side by side with Weller & Buffalo Trace variant. Very dark brown with small beige head. More neutral bourbon, slightly boozier and a touch more body, dark sugars. Prefer the body of this one, but the bourbon flavours of the other. Needs to be blended.

750ml @ SF shared with Brian, Phill, and Ryan.
Aroma: boozy, American oak, low to moderately sweet.
Taste: along the same lines, noticeable booze, a lot of pleasant creamy notes. Finishes with a complex mix of barrel and dark chocolate notes.
Overall: good one.
