I finally decided to pick this one up yesterday as I was always curious about it and hear about how great it is on the bourbon junkies. Clearly my palate doesn't align with theirs very well. Just a mess right now as I contemplate picking up some ginger ale to wash it down. I will come back to it and see if it opens up some but right out of the gate this is not good whiskey and I really love Heaven Hill products, but I'm struggling to see how this one gets good reviews.
