First off and doing this review, I have never had a bottle of bourbon that was corked … Meaning when I pull the stopper off, the cork broke half of it stuck in the bottle still. I had distrain off the cork and work on it for about 10 or 15 minutes to get everything out and rebottle it in the same bottle using an eagle rare stopper.
I’m typically not a Lux Row lover, but this one was not too bad and perfectly drinkable. I picked up very traditional bourbon, notes on the nose, and surprisingly a few fruit notes. Those fruit notes did not translate to the taste, which drink a bit lower than it’s 107 proof with a bit of nuttiness and lingering spice. I do pick up some graininess, which I usually pick up in younger or less refined bourbons. My biggest criticism is the finish is extremely short in a bit drying which Is not what you want. I paid $30 for this so I can’t complain much and it’s perfectly serviceable bourbon and I’m sure I will go back To it from time to time. I’ll give it a standard three rating which I utilize for a bourbon That is good and drinkable. if I was served it, I’d be happy To drink it but wouldn’t look to come back to it necessarily. At the $30 price point I got it out. I’m happy at 45 or 50 I would not be
