I got a pint of this, since I'm experimenting with rye, for $21.99 at Total Wine. There's no age statement, the whisky's a blend of two different mash bills, and in the glass the color is copper. It's only 83 proof. NOSE: I'd only gotten a couple of notes on my first glass, but after sitting for a few days after opening the nose really opened up. I got notes of mineral or salt, perhaps both together; alfalfa hay, milk chocolate and caramel; red berries (perhaps raspberries or thimbleberries); something that was both meaty and buttery; a note that made me think of sunshine on a meadow; another reminder, this time of a summer lawn; honey; and pine lumber. This is definitely not a bourbon nose. MOUTHFEEL: Thin, which makes sense at 83 proof, but creamy nevertheless. TASTE: Spring water, spiced honey, a little oak, and mingled salt and sugar. FINISH: Grass and hay, faint honey - short. SUMMARY: After waiting for a few days the whisky opened up considerably. The nose became very promising - but the rest of the whisky doesn't measure up. Overall this whisky turned out to be unimpressive. RATING: On my hick scale, it's 4th out of 8, counting from the bottom - what I call Okay. This is the same as 2.5 stars, 50/100, or 5/10.
