Reviewed April 17, 2021 (edited May 16, 2021)This layered and complex bourbon style whiskey shows off lighter fruit notes of pear, peach, and apricot. It remains exceedingly smooth and balanced throughout.86.99 USD per BottleThe Beverage Company -

Reviewed April 14, 2021 (edited April 30, 2021)Bought this at the recommendation of the store manager. Nose is fruity, sweet, and oddly plastic-like. The first flavor to hit the palate is hard to describe, very unique, brandy forward. Quickly dissipates to cherry pie, very sweet. Finishes with cough syrup and heat in the chest. This is over the top sweet. It does not improve. Tried using it in mixed drinks and it ruins the drink. Not good. I have to wonder if I got a comprised bottle, perhaps the cork affected it. I've had a few people try it, no one likes it.81.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed April 11, 2021 (edited December 18, 2021)This is a great whiskey. Bourbon purists will turn a cheek, but the finishes on the bourbons that make up this blend give it a unique character. A slightly sweet nose teases what's to come. The pear brandy is right up front and sweetened by the rum cask, giving it a pear candy flavor, balanced by the herbal notes of the amaro cask. This is a sipper and a thinker. Don't expect to get your money's worth by pouring this over ice and tossing it back on a hot summer day - although the light fruitiness and lack of bold oak and spice notes you expect from bourbon make that a distinct possibility, I think this is better consumed served neat on a cool evening with the smell of an afternoon rain in the air. -

Reviewed April 2, 2021 (edited December 31, 2021)Takes about 10% cold water to smooth out. Very subtle notes. Good for an impressive small oz. pour occasionally. Likely will last in my bar awhile.120.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed March 17, 2021 (edited February 29, 2024)Tonight I'm trying another sample from Barrel Craft Spirits, Armida. This one is definitely different. Very heavy on the citrus front with a creamcicle flavor. The finish is a little nutty with a rye spice and a subtle pear rummyish flavor. I like this one quite a bit too. It definitely doesn't have a standard bourbon profile. Nice and smooth for a cask strength. It reminds me a little bit of brandy. -

Reviewed March 11, 2021 (edited February 29, 2024)The “bourbon” in this bourbon is absent to the taste. It legit tastes like brandy. Now that being said it is good. Worth $90. Ehh... not really. Maybe $50...? Its a novelty and you need to recognize you’re purchasing a novelty up front.
