As most of you could guess by now that this bourbon is very high on my list of best bourbons, for some reason I've never reviewed it. So here is is. 
Let's start with something that doesn't really matter, and that is packaging. The best looking bottle in bourbon, I could stare at it for hours. The way the bourbon looks inside is just a masterpiece. I always think to myself that, that's the way bourbon should look! Lol
And then you open it up pop the gigantic glass top with the cork on the bottom. Stick your nose in the bottle and the hint of vanilla, and a little mint is there. But mostly its candied apples! My favorite smelling whiskey!
And now for the most important part of a bourbon... The taste! At the first of the sip, it mirrors the nose. Right off the bat you get a great fruit flavor much like the apple in the nose. That turns into mix of a vanilla and minty spice flavor in the middle of the sip. At the end of the sip it's sweet (not over powering like I feel makers and four roses are) it's a really nice balence of flavors so far. The finish is quite long and produces some very neat flavors. I get this very strange vanilla fudge taste in it (maybe even chocolate) and also the mint sneaks in for one last moment.
Overall I believe this is the best bourbon on the market, quite a bit of people compare this to Blantons which is fair I guess since they both come from the same distillery. But I feel that rock hill is the superior bourbon, I believe it's a much more balencrd and interesting bourbon. (not knocking blantons at all, I do enjoy blantons too) if you haven't had the pleasure of trying this one yet, do yourself a favor and go get some!!!!!!! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
