Any scotch/whisky drinkers in here?

I hope everyone is celebrating Bourbon Heritage Month.

In honor of our anniversary, I reached deep into the bourbon closet last night after dinner.

When I got this bottle, I vowed that I wouldn’t drink it unless someone was enjoying it with me.
Then covid happened, so it’s been sitting collecting dust.

Last night I made Mrs Manic have a pour with me (loophole!)
She enjoyed despite her preference for single malts.

Anyway, really great, even if MSRP might be over-valuated.
I need to compare the mash bill with my usual suspects- definitely spicier than my go-to’s, I’ll assume that’s rye, which I was thinking I didn’t like-
Maybe I do....
 
During dinner Mrs Manic says she’ll have a bourbon. Okay.
After dinner
Me: you want a bourbon?
Her: yeah, if I can have that good one...

Rookie move on my part introducing her.
Oh well, it’s meant to be enjoyed.

Short pour is hers in case it needs saying.
And an hour later, I’m finishing it for her...

Winning?
 
Cracked this bad boy tonight.

A newcomer to NJ.
I’ll hold off on a review until it’s had a chance to breathe a little.
Will that review be favorable?
