TX Blended Whiskey

Sipped neat. No idea what I drank, but it tasted like no other whiskey I've tried as of yet. The nose is rich creme brûlée and the taste is straight vanilla. It's buttery dessert in a glass. There's some nuttiness in there, but it's almost completely overpowered by sweet notes. The sweetness is cloying, however, and I found it extremely difficult to make it through a 2 oz. pour so I gladly shared it with the rest of the table. Some of the non-whiskey drinkers really enjoyed it. The mouth feel is also very thin. Gotta give credit for the unique flavor and distinct flavor profile, but in the end, this product isn't for me. It literally tastes like whiskey blended with vanilla extract. If you like sweet dessert whiskies, this is definitely for you. If you like real whiskies, this is going to be a hard pass. Note: I would gladly sip this over some Tennessee Honey nonsense though

ridiculously overpriced for what is essentially maker's mark blended with neutral grain vanilla flavored spirit. If you know you are getting something sweet, it isn't half bad. If you are expecting an actual bourbon taste, it is highly disappointing. It can be most accurately described as one comment I read, "a childrens whiskey, if such a thing existed". (That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if it weren't $40 a bottle)

Simple nose. Sweet caramel, tons of vanilla, smooth. Candy in glass form. I love this whiskey, but you have to understand that it is not a standard whiskey. It's very sweet. Makes a killer Manhattan when you balance it with a heavier, chocolatey bourbon.
