I don't get this whisky...so...I'm going to write a fast review out of my norm.
This doesn't come off as a bourbon or a rye at all. Neither make sense.
So instead of my normal nosing and tasting notes lets just get into it. This comes off as a youthful without the negative elements of sour and alcohol bite or thin grain vokda elements that many young distilleries do (or even the big boys when they go YOUNG). Chocolates, creamy toffee, caramel, vanilla, and just kinda waxy malt balls are here.
This is a youthful without being YOUNG grain forward whisky, with a nice abv, good body, and well done product. I just don't know what this is....it doesn't taste at all like a bourbon or a rye. It's a unique product.
Score? Oh man, I do tend to spend money on new riff, but I can't say I think they're more than just a distillery who is finding a way to make young whisky come off rich, creamy, and sometimes flavorful. This nails all the quality mouth feel notes and all the yummy new riff things. But it's kinda generic too. 2.50. I'm scoring this so heavily on the mouth feel but it's an experience whisky and for that they get a good score.
