I live down the street from the OYO distillery and as a whiskey nut, wanted to love the stuff. The price is a little difficult to handle, but such is craft whiskey these days. Compared to its local competitors; Watershed and Mill Street, I found the OYO to be strangely sweet (perhaps pralines) on the nose, and not that interesting on the tongue. It's almost like the spirit is influenced by their vanilla/honey flavored vodka they produce at the same site. I prefer Mill Street 100% corn bourbon to OYO's product. It also costs $12.50 less.
