Since I am always taking different bourbons to visit my family in Florida, today, they returned the favor. In the little town of Cumming, Ga is a small storefront offering bourbon tastings. Tiny operation with no apparent distillery. This juice is purported to be 3 year MGP wheated mashbill.
They say it's all about their proprietary filtration process, so how does it measure up?
Opens quickly with a rich caramel nose. Almost no ethanol and a faint grassyness.
I would have guessed a mid rye bourbon of 85-90 proof at this point. It starts open and a couple drops of water make it really pop. I love the nose of this bourbon.
The bottle says 115 proof wheated bourbon, straight bourbon whisky. No age statement. But, there are no rim or legs on the glass, zero! Mouth feel is quite thin but flavor intense.
The flavor is of caramel apples at the county fair. Not much else but I like it. Falls down on the finish, just a flash.
I like this bourbon, it has a great nose and I really like that. I prefer it on ice which is not the way I usually have a high proofer. The finish is sadly lacking and I expect way more from a bourbon at this price point.

agree with your assessment, a little too young, if it were a 5yr or older may have had a better finish, it is good and does not drink like a high proofer
