It could be that your palate is demanding more robustness and flavor. Not sure where you are at on your bourbon journey, but if you compare that 12 year to other 8-12 year bourbons, it's going to miss the mark. (Especially as a light wheater at 90Proof)
In my opinion, the following options are "better":
Wild Turkey 12 year
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof
Little Book/Bookers
Stagg
KC9-120P
KC12
