Had this a lot and just never bother to rate it. Had it fresh upon release and most recently on 1/19/25.
This is right up there with MJK (it basically is MJK) and well worth the hype and pricetag, imo. Rich, but well-developed toffee, bourbon, vanilla and light raisin. Chewy-to-syrupy, tending on the sweeter side but with excellent barrel/bourbon to balance. No alcohol. Masterfully blended and aged.
