I bought this a while back because I liked the bottle and I found it on sale for about $25 so I gave it a try. First off the bottle is cool with a snake coiling around a shotgun shell. The bourbon inside is not bad to above average depending on your tastes. in the glass it is a light tan color with vanilla and cream notes and it looks thin. The body is nice and smooth with more cream coming out with a little bit of oak and something else I can't put my finger on. It has a medium length in how long it lingers but it is pleasant the entire time. The finish is nice with no bitterness. This stuff makes a good Old Fashioned with the flavors holding their own in the drink. In a Manhattan, I had to be careful of the vermouth so it would not wash out the bourbon. Overall, this is a solid to above-average bourbon in a gimmicky bottle I could definitely see getting this for someone as a gift especially if they did not like bold bourbons or whiskeys. Enjoy.

You are right sir. The bourbon inside is nice but not great.
Worst-case scenario, you've got a $25 decanter.
