Tastes

A smooth vanilla bomb mixed with an apple rum and a cinnamon whiskey finish. Very good and surprised it’s only 4.5 years. Smells amazing and drinks much better than a young whiskey.

Was a bit disappointed after the first sip. But then you get a real rich creamy butterscotch and maple syrup taste that lingers really nicely. Takes a few seconds for it to hit but it’s good and not an overwhelming maple note that some maple finishes have. Just a hint of that pepper (like peppercorn pepper, not hot pepper) along with the butterscotch/ maple. I'm a big fan. Could have been 4.5 stars at a $30-40 range but dropped it to 3.75 at $60.

Strong oak & vanilla. Night and day difference between with and without ice. So much smoother and better over ice.

In a blind…very surprised. It took 1/2 with woodford, smoke wagon, and knob creek. Strong oak/vanilla-typical bourbon taste with slight heat but was overall surprisingly smooth.

In a blind: Smelled great. Strong vanilla with a hot bitter taste as well. Really disappointed with it.

Worst bourbon I’ve ever tasted. No idea how this was an award winning bourbon. Had it neat in a blind and ruined my night.

Strong, smooth vanilla. Good stuff.
