I also tasted this at the distillery in St. Augustine. Just like their regular bourbin, I was very disappointed. There is no way this bottle is worth the $200 asking price. I was maybe ready to pay $70 or $80, but this needs to spend alot more time in the barrel to be worth what they want. There was no body, no depth of flavor, and finished very harsh. This distillery is a definite no until they learn more.

Full of flavor and incredibly smooth. Very enjoyable pour!

Spicy, a little sweet but not syrupy. Cinnamon.
