Tastes

Rich and smooth but a lttle short of the depth of flavor of Four Roses Small Batch. A must have in my collection but not my first choice.

What a mouth full! I took a good sip and let it roll around a little and the first thing you feel, not taste so much, but feel is the smoke. It rises into your sinuses. It comes on like a friendly Irish but as soon as you swallow you know it’s more of an angry scotch. Some people called it salt but I think it’s more like a cinnamon on steroids. Wow it burned. So I did what every whiskey lover does, I waited a minute or two and tried it again. The burn was much reduced and after the swallow all the good oak and fruit came through. I am by no means an expert but I know what I like and what I don’t like and I like this. I’m looking forward to having it again. As a bonus, I left the empty glass next to me for a few hours and after that time I could still get a whiff of camp fire as I sat there.

Had some with my son-in-law. (Everyone should have a son-in-law this good) Smoke up front with a long clean heart warming finish. DO NOT leave this out when your Bud Lite neighbor comes over and says "Hey, I'll take a snort".

I like this for an inexpensive full body go to bourbon. It's not Maker's but it doesn't break the bank either.

Nice smooth, value priced whiskey. Good in summer on a little ice. I won't turn down a Beam or Makers for it but I won't pour it down the drain either.

My favorite so far. Everything i'm looking for but my world is still expanding, unfortunatly faster then my budget.
