This review is for the 2022 release, purchased at the distillery Sept 2022. Aged at least 40 months. I understand it’s a blend of corn whiskey and bourbon, but the blend changes with each batch. The nose is quite minty. There’s vanilla pudding, orange peel, some cherry, and some oak notes. A little of the Texas funk comes through, which also carries through to the palate. The palate shows much of the same as the nose. Seems like there’s maybe more rye here than I remember hearing about in this one, or maybe there’s something else like a finishing barrel in here that I missed. The funk is not overwhelming, but it definitely has a Texas whiskey characteristic that’s noticeable. Woody. A little youthiness seems to show up particularly towards the finish. I actually quite enjoy this, but it’s not one I would recommend for someone looking for a Kentucky bourbon profile. Texas whiskey in all its variations is kind of its own thing, which I tend to like, but I also know it’s somewhat polarizing.
