Frying Pan Shoals bourbon

As much as I love the bottle, and it is darn cool, I didn’t care for the bourbon. I hate to say it but it let me down. From the nose it was simply funky and not what i would consider inviting. Odd flavor and not a smooth taste. Feel like it was rushed to get it out. Kind of harsh/briny. Hopefully they pull off a better batch soon! Now that i have a full bottle, I’ll save it for those special occasions when i don’t particularly want my guests to return… Second pour… note, the above was neat… now giving it a go with an ice wedge. I felt a few drops of water would not have much impact. The nose is a bit more pleasing, maybe a peanut influence but certainly not taking over. Still a smell i just can’t peg. On the tounge not nearly as harsh but that is not surprising. Will note that the lingering taste is much more pleasant now. Maybe, maybe, a little more floral. I have to stick to the one star as all my tasting pours are evaluated neat and that experience still stands.

Another review described as medicinal. I agree not a taste that I enjoy. Would spend $$ elsewhere and not drink acetone. Didnt even mix well and could still taste chemicals.

On the nose it has a heavy peanut scent with a slight medicinal undertone to it. On the palate it has a leathery, oaky, smokey profile that finishes with a sharp spice note that fades really quick. None of the flavor profile on the nose transfers over to the palate but the flavor profile on the palate is much better than the nose. It is a little thin mouthfeel wise. All in all a really nice pour in my opinion.
