One of the better local store picks I found last year was a Redemption high rye bourbon, and I bought this bottle specifically to figure out what was going on with this juice.
Nose is sugar, apple, tangerine. Honey.
Bottle is incredibly sweet, but it works. There’s powdered sugar, tart apple, orange. Maple syrup. Hint of something bitter, possibly cedar, but the sweeter notes win for me. Very good.
Finish is cinnamon, more sugar, bit of caramel. Mint. The apple carries through, and I just realized this finish is the taste of the Dutch apple pie from Burger King. I mean that as a good thing.
I can’t overstate how much this bottle punches above its weight class. Phenomenal value, phenomenal flavor. A new permanent shelf member for me.

I literally just bought a single barrel select yesterday selected by the county board and thought the same thing. It was only $45, but it drinks very similar to the Smoke Wagon UCUF I have right now. Really impressed and much better than most MGPs I've had.
