I have a bottle of this bourbon, was the last on the shelf at the store I was at. I finally got around to opening it ( I have a decent collection so it takes awhile for bottles to open sometimes) and I was surprised at how good it is. I would say it was a similar profile to Blantons but better. I'm very intrigued to see how good it gets with more age. Being less than 4yrs old I feel at around the 10 to 12 yr mark this is going to be an amazing pour that you definitely will not want to pass up on when u see it. I personally didn't get any apricot, very Carmel and brown sugar forward to me.
