I've had this bottle since it first came out last year and this is probably my 4th taste of it. Subsequent sips improve drastically as some of the creamier tones begin to build up on the taste buds I've done the full tour at Jack's facility, picked my own barrel with Lexie Phillips, and thoroughly I have struggled to revisit this at all with any level of excitement and this tasting thoroughly solidifies
