I originally tasted and reviewed Old Tub here on Distiller back on December 20, 2020. At the time, I was a newbie to the world of bourbon, and enthusiastically gave it a 4.25 rating. Since then, I've had so many different bottles that I've liked and loved, but hardly ever bestow a 4-star or higher rating upon. So... I bought another bottle, and am revisiting Old Tub to see if it stands up to my initial enthusiasm.
I am pleased to report that it does, indeed, live up to the hype from the novice bourbon drinker I once was...
On the nose, cinnamon, Red Hots candies, leather, and alcohol. The palate is sweet and spicy with the cinnamon carrying over from the nose. It's a little thin on the tongue, but that's not an issue for me. The finish is medium with a slight warm hug in the chest.
The only change to my original rating is 0.25 stars... down to 4.0. I purchased Old Tub back in 2020 for around $24.00. I got this bottle for even less. Excellent bourbon for the price. Highly recommend.

@DjangoJohnson Yeah. It went from $24 up to $28 where I originally purchased it. I got this bottle for $19 at Total Wine and More. Even better!
I’ve always found this a value buy and have been an enthusiast for it. It was $16 around me and recently jumped to $20 but still an excellent buy at that price. I have four bottles in my cabinet as it only makes sense to stock up at those prices. WT 101 goes for $2 more on sale but I find this to be superior.
