I am not sure how this remains non allocated, but I am thankfull it has. This is absolutely one of my favorite Bourbons. I could give a tasters review, but I'm betting the people that think that way are already fans of this. For the novice. This is an outstanding entry point for a high end bourbon. It is smooth and sweet with medium burn. It will impress even the most seasoned bourbon drinker, so a great pour for "That" guest. Most bourbon at this quality and price are allocated. This stands comfortably among them.
