I could not get past the intense heat from this bottle. I have never gotten heartburn from a whiskey like I did this one. I think there may have been an issue with the cork as it kept pushing itself almost all the way off once I loosened the first time. I am going to write it off to the bottle being a one-off quality control issue, but it is disappointing. I love the TOPO brewery and I want to love the distillery, too.
