Tastes

This “bourbon” is not bourbon. I get so many conflicting flavors that I’m not sure what im drinking. In all honesty, if the bottle hadn’t been $60+, I would have dumped it. It’s not a good sipper and not a good mixer. The whisky is in opposition to itself. I want to quote Princess Bride and tell everyone to “have fun stormin’ the castle.” But you won’t.

Super average. I paid $60 for this and have had many sub $40 bottles that were as good or better. Don’t get me wrong, this was pleasant enough, just not worth the elevated price tag.

This is a solid offering. It suffers from being boring and having had high expectations set by last season’s Offerman Edition. It’s good, but the 16yr old is better.

This was an outstanding surprise! My wife brought this back for me from a trip to Brooklyn (much better than a t-shirt). Contrary to the expert review, the bottle I have says that it was aged for 839 days. I get much more of corn/bourbon taste than I do the rye. I get the rye/spice notes on the back end. Damn good whiskey to my palate.

Good but not $57 a bottle good. It’s a four grain mashbill and has about 10% wheat in it, which some will like. Not my favorite but it adds some spiciness. The bourbon is 95 proof, so a bit hot but not overly so. It opens up and becomes more nuanced with a rock. There are better options for the money.

This is a solid whisky but not a 97 pointer or in the $99/bottle category in my opinion. It’s a lighter style with more of a bourbon nose and flavors that are akin to a rum with a slight spice. Smooth drinking to be sure.
