Compared to the Harbinger, this hits me as much more similar to something from Kentucky. Caramel apple, cherry, cinnamon. Not picking up any of the funk that I did in the Harbinger. There's oak, but it's not overly tannic or overbearing, which can sometimes be the case in these Texas whiskies. If I were drinking this blind, I would've guessed this is 1792 Full Proof, which I haven't actually tried, but it tastes like what I think 1792 FP should taste like.
Thanks once again to @ctbeck11 for this sample. Really enjoyable pour. Planning to make a trip soon to the distillery and hope I can find something that tastes like this one.

@ctbeck11 my biggest beef with them is the price. But I was willing to pay a bit more for that unusual rye/sloe gin combination.
@PBMichiganWolverine I saw! I decided not to jump on any of them this time around. Interested to hear your thoughts on that one.
@ctbeck11 @soonershrink they just came out with new releases. I got their Spirit Works finished in Sloe Gin…seemed interesting.
I really like this one. Hope to be able to try more Ironroots in the future too.
