I heard good things but didn't pick up a bottle. I think I'm only purchasing barrel proofers and limited editions for the foreseeable future. Trying to drink down my lower proof offerings to make space!
Nick, We received a heads up as you did I'm sure that B Red had a special going as this was just now entering our market ( only sold in St. Louis and Illinois ) and they were offering it up @ $25 / 750 ml (retail $40) so we thought what the hell....( picked up (2) )
Had a rocks glass last night and DID enjoy it.
From their website:
David Nicholson Reserve
An extra-aged ‘ryed’ bourbon that provides full-bodied flavor and a distinct, spicy taste.
NoseNotes of honey and vanilla with smoky undertones.
PalateThe woody, smoky tones you expect, followed by an exceptionally smooth finish with undertones of oak and mild spice. @100 proof
No word on exactly where it's distilled but the word is Heaven HillYou can take it for a spin when we eventually get together to ash one :)
I'm sure your collection is Staggering!!!!
