Not sure what’s going on here, but I haven’t bought a bottle in a while and picked up a 1.5L the other night. Overwhelming peanut butter note. I’m talking Beam level Peanut note. I don’t think they’ve been up and running long enough (but I’m terrible with dates and years), but perhaps some of their own distillate is coming of age and being blended in? Whatever it is, I get none of the cherry and cinnamon and big oak that I used to. Huge downgrade and no longer recommended as one of my favorite sub-$20 bottles.

Just remembered Luxco was recently purchased by MGP. Possible that they are transitioning to an MGP Wheated mashbill?
@jdriip yeah, I don’t know what’s changed, but something is definitely different.
@BDanner I purchased a bottle earlier this year, based on the reviews, it was a big disappointment. Not terrible whiskey, but quite bland and uninteresting. Ended up giving away the bottle.
@PBMichiganWolverine I realize now that was confusing. It’s around $20 for the standard 750ml.
Wait…you got a 1.5L for <$20 ??!!? At those prices, it’s moonshine territory
