I reviewed this back in 2021 from a sample, and didn't care for it, but recently began thinking that now that I have sufficient experience to give the whisky a fairer shake, I ought to try again. I got a pint bottle (375ml) at Total Wine for $30.09. It's 86.6 proof, and there's no age statement on the bottle. The mash bill is 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% rye. In the glass the color is copper. 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝗲: On the nose I got a sour and astringent alcohol above all else. After repeated sniffs I got a faint grape note, but nothing more. 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹: Buttery. 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲: There was a slight honey note first, then I began to detect a slight cinnamon, and an overall sweetness. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵: I have to give the finish credit for lasting a good while, but it wasn't anything exciting - just cinnamon and alcohol. 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: I don't know whether it's the bourbon itself, or the port finish, but I just don't care for this whisky. I know a lot of people like it, but for my palate, it's mediocre at best. And at that this was my third glass, and the best of the three. I'll not buy this bourbon again. 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: On my hick scale, which starts with 1 at the bottom, this gets a 3, Mediocre. That comes out to 1.875 stars, 3.75/10, or 37.5/100.
