Tastes

A more refined version of baby blue. With the baby blue you get vanilla corn. This one has more fruitiness, char, and spice. I get berries with some sweet corn and smokiness on the palate.

Caramel, wood, vanilla with some peanut nuttiness. The flavors are nice but barely there. For budget bourbons, I’ll stick with EW BiB.

It’s vanilla cream soda in whiskey form. Too sweet to drink neat. Holds up well in a mixer if you want a nice vanilla kick. Tastes good with coke

Tastes more like moonshine than whiskey

Not a fan. It’s musty. I’m trying to think of a better description, but I taste a weird mustiness with dust from the corn and spice with vanilla. It’s interesting but not sure I’d drink it again. On the nose, there’s vanilla with dark fruit which I enjoyed. The palate was not as enjoyable. I would love to know how much this pecan yeast affects the taste. If someone were to ask me what’s a good example of a Texas Whiskey, I wouldn’t give them this. I’d reach for a Balcones, Ironroot, or Garrison instead

My first wheated bourbon. Not bad overall. On the nose I get honey, apples, some citrus and maybe some cherry. It’s, also, more floral than I was expecting. I admit, I like the nose more than the taste. On taste, I get some vanilla and honey and a little bit of apple. I was surprised by the spice on the tongue. It’s spicy throughout and finishes with some wood and char. The finish isn’t very long. Maybe a bit thin. Overall, I enjoyed this. It’s an easy sipper, but I would not pay more than MSRP. I heard of some stores selling this for $30+ and that’s too much. I got lucky and found this for $20.

*Worth trying at least once. Gains extra points for uniqueness* The scent of burnt wood and bonfire overwhelmed the nose. After some time to acclimate, I began to smell sweet buttery corn and honey. It’s quite interesting. The taste was a LOT of char and wood. It’s also very dry. Like a bonfire in your mouth. But once I got a few sips in I started to taste nuttiness, spice, and some salt . On the finish, you’re left with char. BUT after I left the bar, I started to taste sweet corn again. I’ve never had a whiskey jump back and forth between smokey/spicy to sweet as I was tasting it. It’s very unique. I’ll admit I didn’t love this at first, but I do find it fascinating. I’ll have to taste this again to see if I’d be willing to invest in a bottle.

It’s not as spicy as it is minty. Very effervescent with some sweetness. Not bad for a rye and would be interested in trying it in an old fashioned or manhattan.

Very sweet. Almost maple syrup sweet. Maybe a good mixer, but not one I’d drink neat

Not bad. This has a more well-rounded flavor than their regular bourbon. There’s some fruit notes along with the dusty corn. It’s really young but less astringent. Maybe due to the older age. However, you pay a premium for this whiskey that tastes closer to other whiskeys that are cheaper and older from Kentucky. Expensive for $70.
