My original review for the new Heaven's Door Ascension on 8/12/23 was full of hope and I really wanted to give this juice the benefit of the doubt. However, I have deleted all that and am changing my review and rating... I do not like this stuff. I tried, but its got a heavy "medicinal" flavor that is very off-putting. It is quite seldom that I don't like a bottle enough to want to dump it down the sink... but this, unfortunately, has earned that fate. However, I'm instead going to try to pawn it off on a fellow bourbon enthusiast to get his take on it. If he likes it, awesome! If he has the same reaction as me, then HE can dump it. LOL! Sorry, Heaven's Door. I had such high hopes for your first KY Bourbon, but you totally missed the mark on this one. 2.25 final rating for not being the worst I've ever had, but definitely nowhere near even a "bottom shelf" status. I'll buy Old Grandad 100 BIB, or Evan Williams 1783, before I touch this stuff again. Those are far better bourbons for much less $$$!
