Got a tasting vial from Flaviar. Subtle aroma. Notes of grain perhaps on the palate, and maybe a little chocolate in the finish? Hard to identify. I would prefer Balcones or Westland as they are a bit sweeter.

Toasted barley, honey, stone fruits, nuts and cherry make for a delicious combination in this impressively balanced whisky. It’s packed with flavor and unblemished by any of the youthful notes that often mar craft whisky. I’ve long viewed American single malt as underaged and overpriced, but between this and the recent Balcones releases I am happy to consign that opinion to the history books.

Look of it - Nice golden hue with a touch of red in sunlight.
Nose - I get a sweet molasses like that sticks as it turns into herbal, smoke and the meaty funk.
Taste - Starts sweet at the tip of my tounge as it tingles the sides of them. Then there's a floral note that goes into smoke and that meaty funk hits the back and lingers.
Finish - Smoke brisket-esk with a last herbal note as it dissipates.

Nose - dried fruit, most notably prunes, hint of chocolate sweetness and brownie batter
Palate - cocoa powder, dark chocolate, more brownie mix
Finish - oily malt shows up then finish with some bitter chocolate
Bottle kill/drain dump review.
Shared with a group of friends (socially distanced of course) about a week after opening. It was one of their favorites out of a flight of 6 American whiskies and I didn’t mind it terribly.
Shared again last weekend with a different group and it was absolute least favorite.
This bottle was only open about 6 weeks and the stinky, yeasty note just got more and more pronounced. Dumped the last 1/8th bottle down the drain.
Guess the morale of the story is to drink it quickly if you get a bottle.
