Filibuster Dual Cask Straight Bourbon

It's okay. It's got that Virginia mash whiskey flavor, but it's really harsh, even after you add water. I don't know if there's too much rye in the mash build or what, but it is not a smooth drink, and I think it confuses dissonance for complexity

Pretty good, but kind of odd. I don't know if the high corn sweetness goes with the slight cherry of the french wine barrels. I'm just not sure it works. This particular mash bill may not be it. It may also be too much rye. The spice also throws off the balance of the overall whiskey. Even watering it down doesn't temper it so you can actually taste it. Not the smoothest drink, and that's disappointing.
