Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

December 16, 2025 (edited December 26, 2025)
Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes.
Color: Medium amber.
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, some fruit notes.
Palate: Cinnamon red hots, clove, baking spice.
Finish: Long length with medium heat.
Splash: No new flavors are revealed.
Overall: 8/10 - This was a tough one to rate. On the one hand, it’s pretty basic with no real depth. On the other hand, it’s dirt cheap. It could possibly hold its own in a cocktail, but for the same price as WT 101, it’s 125 proof. Good value for the price.

I tend to agree this is one killer bottle considering the value on offer. For me here, it’s cheaper than WT101, and quite a bit cheaper than other similar-mash value staples such as ECBP. Can’t beat this under $25 imo
