Spent 3-4 days tasting this and giving it a chance. I’m a long time Texan, so I yearned for something special here. Absolutely not worth $80 by any stretch of the imagination. Tastes young, hot (only 94 proof) and like smoky hay/cornbread. I’d not purchase this at $30. All other expressions of GB are better due to longer aging. Balmorhea + Cowboy 22 are great, but only if you have a spare $200 sitting around. I’d buy those at $50-70 happily. GB does have incredible marketing and charismatic staff!
