I like this kind of old school bourbon so it's right up my ally. But i can understand if some might have a hard time agreeing with this Yellowstone Small batch Is is rich in cherry, cola, vanilla flavors and not a small amount of spice, it drinks hotter than the 53.5% suggests but that is fine by me. But yes it can be somewhat one dimensional.
