Oo this smells like hardcore old school MGP. Powdered sugar and roasted walnuts on the nose. Little bit of pepper and dark cherry as well. Nice rich and complex with minimal ethanol.
On the palate it packs a punch for sure. I’ve had this bottle with a cigar and the flavor is able to punch through the tobacco. So without the cigar to mellow out the flavors it tastes more raw and unfiltered. Definitely can taste the heat and ethanol upfront but rich dark and complex oaky sweetness on the back end. Not getting much favors I got on the nose. Finish is long and gives a very pleasant Kentucky hug.

The most pleasant grape laffy taffy flavor. Zero ethanol and even on the palate it drinks just like juice. Such a pleasant sipper and I just cannot think of a better bottle of bourbon to recommend to someone looking to get into the bourbon.
The Eagle Rare store picks ive had have really highlighted the sweet flavor while further muting the already little ethanol I get on the nose and palate.

Picked this up this morning . A Private/toasted/barrel proof EC. Can’t wait to open
Cherry glazed pie filling and pastry crust. Peanut and am I getting some bubblegum on the nose. Cherry isn’t my favorite flavor for bourbon but a standout on my bar when I want a different flavor profile.
Shame the MSRP has gone up so much. Borderline not worth it anymore given how this isn’t one of my top choices.

I found the perfect paring
