Tasting Notes

An improvement over the non Bourbon cask edition. Really not sure what is different about the two tastings, but it was a separate item on the menu at the hotel and separate bottles on at least one reseller on the web. I can’t find enough information in English to really figure out what is different. The wood does come out more in this one.
