[Early 2011] It all started with a Groupon... "Come learn how to make whiskey." A buddy and I received these from our SO's as a Christmas gift and went down to have a breakfast (with whiskey) where we made a mash, tasted profiles, and took home some bottles - including this one. Not a bad whiskey but was never something special. The story is probably cooler than the dram. Sweet logo, good family heritage, good people. And since have worked up some solid liquor I keep on the shelf. But their gem is vodkas and this reserve whiskey is just part of the standard lineup for me. Raw, woody, like Evan Williams Single Barrel. Harsh polyphenols that almost make you think of cleaning agents. It's a good whiskey but not their best. And for the price not something I keep around. Last bottle I bought was in 2014 for a bachelor party whiskey bracket. If you've never done one of those, do it.
