Tastes

This is a solid whiskey for the price. Sweet but not overly sweet. A bit spicier than normal bourbon, almost like a rye. Very easy to drink.

This is a pretty good whiskey for the price. Strong alcohol burn on the nose with a bit of an oaky background. Good mouthfeel, coats and the flavors stay around. Sweet with a hint of vanilla up front, with a change to a strong leather finish. This reminds me so much of Johnnie Walker Blue at 20% of the price.

This is not a bad bourbon. But it shouldn’t be this expensive and the rating takes this into consideration. This is not even close to their original outlaw bourbon. I dont remember what I paid for it…maybe $120-130? Definitely not worth it. It lost a lot of its peppery harshness on first sip, which is my favorite part of the original. There isn’t a lot of complexity left to make up for it. The mezcal flavor is there, but thats about it - It’s a middle of the road bourbon with a hint of agave flavor and an unnaturally sweet scent and finish. If this were in the ~$50 range I would have given it 3-3.5 stars. But this is just not worth the money.

For the price this is a very good whiskey. Spice, pepper, smoke, and a sweet, nutty flavor are the strongest characteristics. Theres a bit of a scotchy leather scent in the background as well. It’s one of my favorites.

This is an OK bourbon for the price. Very standard mild bourbon start. Not much burn, not a ton of dlavor . Finishes sweet with hints of caramel and vanilla.
