I had a pour of this, courtesy of @LeeEvolved . I love trying these new American craft distilleries; they have to use creativity, finishing sourced products, and adherence to quality just to compete and stay relevant. And even if they do all of these things really well, it’s still no guarantee of turning a profit, as we saw most recently with Copper River out of NJ shutting its doors. Their best hope is going the route of High West and selling to a major spirits company. Anyway, these gals here have placed out a pretty good sourced product with a spin on their own finishing. Reddish mahogany color, followed by sweet plums and vanilla on the nose. Taste is typical sweet bourbon, but with a twist of red berries (from the finishing ). I don’t think they’re anywhere as close to High West in their finishing, but it’ll be interesting to see if their own product will be as good as Stranahan’s, Westland, or the other established craft distillers. Thanks @LeeEvolved , i’ll be keeping an eye out for these as they start evolving.
