Comments: 

Breckinridge Bourbon Cask 111. Fruity, and fiery. The high ABV makes a difference, but I don’t know if it needed to be quite this high. Very young of course, and quite promising. On its own merits though, there’s a strange sort of rubbery, coconut note that jars against the nice cereal and fruit.

Verdict:

I like this.
