I purchased a bottle some time ago, namely, and quite honesty, because I was curious what the Armagnac finished Joseph Magnus taste like, but wasn’t up for hunting and paying $300+ for it. Instead I noticed this, and furthermore, was impressed that it was started by an all women team with an all women employee base. That’s hard to come by in a male dominated industry like this. Honestly...was more than happy to support the endeavor, regardless of how the bourbon turned out ( now , just for note...in pecking order, bourbon is dead last for me after single malt, rye, amaro, all other whiskey, red wine...and then finally bourbon ).
This is a high rye sourced bourbon from KY, but finished in Armagnac in Wash DC. The aroma is the pinnacle of this one, unfortunately. Apricot, honey, some oak. Very heavy on apricot. The palette falls apart...it’s mild and light. I was hoping for more of the Armagnac, but it’s really light. It’s like diametrically opposite to a Booker’s. If you like your spirit mild and light, with an amazing aroma, this is right up your alley.

@Milliardo i think if you like the subtle nuanced flavors, this might be up your wheelhouse. Personally, I was in the mood for a more aggressive flavor. I might need to wait till I feel like having a lighter pour
This bums me out so bad. The batch 2 was outstanding (rum finish) and I’ve been waiting for the right moment to try this
