8, almost 9 years old now. It's been a couple years since I last had this as it was quite boozy last time. The booze has finally mellowed down. It now has a bit of a black licorice flavor, combined with vanilla.

Mellow. Whiskey and oak. Not objectionable, but not holding up.

A surprise treat of a 9 year old aged bottle. Smells fierce but tastes super refined and smooth. Rich bourbon.

This has held up pretty well. Still plenty of chocolate, toffee and a bit of licorice. Slightly thin mouthfeel but a viscous coating left on the tongue

Rich chocolate and coffee with pleasant oak and vanilla notes. It's Kentucky Bastard; of course it's great!
