Tastes

Took a flier on the $30 whiskey of the year, assuming I’ll never see it again once the collectors and fanboys descend. Maybe they won’t though, because it isn’t that great. Heavy oak tannins, syrupy spice and a dry, bitter finish. Not for me.

This is a wild one. This is barely a whiskey, in a good way. Sipable neat and also works great in cocktails - I use it almost like a gin. If you’ve ever had oude jenever from the Netherlands, it’s like that with a hoppy, American spin.

Some fruity notes but incredibly young and harsh. Monkey shoulder a much better option.
