I was out and about today and said what the heck, I’ll try it.Wow close to a year since we were in this thread! I recently was suggested a new bourbon. Story goes the master distiller for Angels Envy, one of my absolute favorites, launched his own line and it's called Center Stave. I'm really enjoying this port cask finish. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend

The nose has cherries, fig, vanilla, and hints of cocoa and clove. Flavor dominated by cherry, vanilla and some clove at the end of it. It is fairly warming so I added a couple of drops of water to see how the spirit changes.
The water helps to bring out additional cocoa with the cherry and vanilla. Reduces the fusel as well.
These are a couple of the flavors I enjoy in a good bourbon. Very good recommendation @OldSchool , thank you!
