I’ve seen this bottle before but never had the interest to try it. Always found it for $35-$40 and the size was only 375mL which is small for the price. Thankfully, I was gifted this bottle by a family member who knew I enjoyed bourbon.
I poured some in a glencairn glass m, neat, and let it rest for 15min. The nose was quite interesting. Had notes of vanilla, musty oak, more must and dust (like an old forest) and kept continuing with oak. The nose was pretty good which got me excited.
The palate is where everything went to a halt for me. It had a kick of cinnamon with oak and then went to a really, really odd taste. Think chemicals or plastic. It was the strangest palate I’ve had in a bourbon. The chemical presence was so strong that it took over the entire finish.
The finish was even worse than the palate. It was chemicals, plastic, like old plastic toys, and a very bad lingering finish. Think of chewing a toy that was in the garage for quite some time. This might be my Least favorite bourbon. What’s disappointing is that the price is so high for a craft bourbon in a half size bottle. This isn’t worth it. Pass on this bottle and spend $35-$40 on a different bottle that is normal in size.
