Conviction Small Batch Bourbon

Picked up a new bottle from the distillery yesterday. They’ve reached 2 years old now and starting to release their “Straight” bourbon. My last bottle was just one year old. I’m looking forward to tasting the difference.

I taste a lot of corn at the beginning. it is smoother than expected. it's not too bad when making julips

Cool story but not so great juice. I am sure it will get better with the years of them distilling but not so wonderful just yet.

A good amount of heat and some flavor to back it up. I wish it had a little more body though.

Great owner and distillery just east of Charlotte. The bourbon ages with the assistance of pounding music, similar to what several other distilleries are doing. My bottle was aged one year and bottled at 100.6 proof. This is a beloved micro distillery in N.C. but, I’m just not enjoying my bottle.
