Tastes

Roasted marshmallow, sweet oak, and berries. Delicious. Very approachable. Definitely a high-end bottle

Delicious. Blackberries and raspberries, like a jam over toast. Rich and thick.

An explosion of citrus and spices. A little bit if anise in the background that complements perfectly. A delicious rye.

Great, thick complex mouthfeel. Lucious.

Really unique pour. I get a smoky, almost ester flavor on this. I get almost a mesquite on it, but not in a finished way, if that makes sense. Very good.

Velvety, buttery texture. That quintessential MGP bourbon musty sweetness. It’s very delicious.

I know you shouldn’t factor price into a review, but when you ask ~$120 for a bottle, you open yourself up for additional assessment. This whiskey is good. It’s slightly herbal with a creamy texture. It is slightly cloying on the palate. A little spicy apricot presence too. With all that being said, it shouldn’t be $120. I know the brand is riding the coattails of its fabled success, but the stuff is not up to the same par. I liked Confiscated more than this, and that is also notoriously overpriced. Save your cash.

Slight orange rind spice that complements the bourbon excellently. It comes across almost like a manhattan or old fashioned. Very good.

Really pleasant notes of honey, sweet raspberries, creme brulee, and a bit of chai spice. Delicious.

Nose: A panoply of berries, stone fruit, and melon. A couple light earthy notes. Palate: Wave of grape flavor ice. Strawberries. French toast with icing. Decadent. Finish: Cinnamon. Red hots. Baking spices and brown sugar. Still some fruit influence. Its awesome. It sometimes sucks when a bottle lives up to the hype, but these always do it. I’s grab this sub $200 and feel totally fine about it. It is a special bottle.
