Tastes

Was really excited to try this. One word to sum up this bourbon.. GAS-O-LINE! People that call this smooth must have killed off their taste buds from years of whiskey drinkin' 'cause this stuff is rough. Even with a full melted ice cube it was too much for me. I'll stick with the 100 proof

After having Larceny (for cheaper and liking better) I want to give this a 3.5, but I'll be generous and go with 4 because it's still a damn good bourbon for the price. I've had more expensive stuff that's hard to choke down. This stuff ain't that. Very balanced nose, hits the tongue with a little sweetness then rounds out with a gentle burn. Great value for a daily dram

I've read that this is HHs response to MM. If that's the case there's a clear winner.. Larceny. It's not even a question. As someone else said, when Jack or Jim are the same price why would you even ponder buying them when this is available? At $18 bucks this has to be the absolute value for a bourbon I've ever had. EC at $22 is probably a better value but that was on sale. I came to appreciate it more the further down the bottle I got. The maple syrup pancakes nails the mid palette, followed by slight burn and mild in length finish. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. At that price point I'm definitely buying again

Never tasted it but has to be one of the ugliest bottles ever made

Now that I've had a few other bourbons and JW Platinum I have to revise my score. Either I got a bad bottle or my palate has completely changed because this is not pleasant at all. Rough and peaty ='s no likey
