I've had some of the previous years releases.. I'll be honest it's not for me.. I just don't like my whiskey's finished though.. I feel that by barrel finishing a whiskey it imparts a sweetness that I just don't care for (though maybe that's because I like peppery notes)... But, I really respect the guys at High West... they do a great job blending and I love how much rye they use... it's definitely worth picking up a bottle... they do a much better job than the Angel's Envy guys...

So I'm a neat kind of guy and new oak kind of guy...
