Reviewed January 26, 2024 (edited March 5, 2024)For 25 this is as good as its gonna get. Take Stagg and make it a little less complex, and a tad more astringent, and thats what this is. Traditional bourbon as far as flavor goes, nice finish, nice spice. -

Reviewed January 17, 2024 (edited March 5, 2024)Surprisingly pretty good. The smell is fantastic, smell reminds me of the Buffalo trace distillery. Strong scent of bread notes and yeast. A close second was caramel and oak. Tasting notes at first a smooth cool vanilla then notes of oak/pepper and grains to finish with a mouth and tongue tingling finish and a warmth as it goes down. Quite nice actually. Reminds me of some Eagle rare. -

Reviewed January 7, 2024 (edited March 5, 2024)The nose is full of smoky and fruity goodness, and strong alcohol, but not harsh. Luscious notes of candied dark fruits including plums, blackberries, black cherries, and Moon Drop grapes are perceived. Loads of sweetness in the form of brown sugar and butter on lightly toasted bread, vanilla bean, and even a dollop of honey. Plenty of spice, white pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne too. Charred oak is present throughout, as well as a hint of eucalyptus. Hot on the tongue, but in a good, mildly challenging way. Atomic FireBall candies explode in the mouth, followed by the black cherries from the nose accompanied by a savory sweet caramel syrup infused with pepper and herbs. There’s a bit of candied orange peel and honeycomb in there too. The body is sufficient with an above average, even oily, mouthfeel. But, there are absolutely no legs. The shortish finish is enjoyable. Fruit leather, praline nuts, smoked maple syrup, plus a touch of pipe tobacco and cocoa. With the amount of flavor this packs for the price, and for how well it stands up to ice, Full Proof is fool proof! Nose: 9 Taste: 9 Body: 7 Finish: 8 -

Reviewed December 26, 2023 (edited January 14, 2024)On the nose i only get heat, not spice but heat. This heat is from the proof but i still get a trace of sweetness under all the heat. On the palette I can better detect the sweetness as a honey floral sweetness but it is quickly overwhelmed by the heat from the proof. Adding a few drops of water bring the sweetness more to the forefront but the heat from the proof still overpowers it
