I've reviewed this whisky once before, on April 8 of last year. A year later my notes are different, partly due, I'm sure, to the training of my palate over time, but also I'm sure partly due to the subjective nature of tasting whisky. I thought more highly of it then than I do now, but I had less experience then, and its fall in my estimation isn't due to the quality of the whisky, but rather to my having since discovered even better juice. The mash bill is 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% barley. A fifth cost me $27.99 at Kelly Liquors (just a couple of dollars more than I got a fifth for at Total Wine a year ago, which is amazing considering that Total Wine is always cheaper, and prices have been going sky high since January of 2021). It's 90 proof whisky, there's no age statement (and the label doesn't call it straight whisky, so that aid to guessing the age is absent), and in the glass the color is dark gold. NOSE: Vanilla, pecans, honey, some kind of grain note that I can't be specific about, cinnamon, sweet corn, something earthy, peanuts, and puffed wheat. MOUTHFEEL: Silky TASTE: Honey, oak, cinnamon, charred wood (I expect from the Lincoln County process), black pepper, and pecans. FINISH: Medium in length, with only pecans and a little oak. SUMMARY: The taste is nowhere near as complex as the nose, but it is good. I especially enjoy the nuttiness of this whisky. This is the first whisky where I detected a nutty note (pecans in the finish), and although I've since detected nuts in other whiskies, this is still the nuttiest I've ever had. RATING: Good, which translates to 3.125 stars, or 6.25 out of 10/62.5 out of 100.
