Edit: I got a new bottle, and I can honestly say that it is far more impressive than the first bottle I had. The tasting notes on Distiller are pretty close to what I get, with a few additions. The nose is a bit more floral now, like honeysuckle. I also get some lemon, black tea, and a nice tanic quality on the palate. It's still a young spirit, so it is a bit hot, vibrant, and effervescent. This is a well made whiskey, and was worth trying again. Leaving my original notes below.
(Original notes follow) I really wanted to love this, but it wasn't worth the price tag in the end. I'm willing to believe that the bottle I had just wasn't good, but there was just an off flavor throughout. I want to attribute it to cask selection, as the spirit itself was malty and flavorsome, but that funky undercurrent was there. I'll try this again another time, because I like supporting Texas distillers. Just for comparison, this was $50 in College Station.
