Very interesting, I saw some articles about it and recently found it at my local liquor store for $46.00 (I am in Colorado) and decided to try it. It has definitely the characteristic of a single malt scotch, not an American Whiskey (Stranahan's which is a single malt still reminders me of a Bourbon more than a Scotch). It is surprisingly balanced, it's young age shows a little on the nose but becomes much more interesting as it sits for a few minutes in the glass, the palate is surprisingly balances, a touch of mesquite smoke but nicely restrained, not overpowering the sweet vanilla flavors. I was concerned that it only matured for 2 years but they managed to have it very balanced and restrained for such a young age, definitely a good whiskey, even compared to some quality scotch Whiskies that I usually enjoy (Balvenie, Laphroaig, Ardbeg). I cannot wait to have some of my friends to try it. I look forward to try some older expressions of this well crafted whiskey as the distillery evolves (I think they were only founded in 2010)
