I’ve seen a lot of people dump on this stuff on here, I’m sure in part based on the accountant’s strength proof, but I’m always curious to try new things, even if bad, so I opted to order a pour while out for dinner with my wife. Mashbill: 63% corn, 27% rye, 10% malted barley. Price: $30.99 at Total Wine in Houston, Texas Setting: Neat in a tumbler while at dinner Nose: Oranges, maybe a little oak. Not a whole lot here. (15/25 points) Taste: Oranges, peanuts, oak. Tastes like water with some whiskey added, rather than the reverse. The flavors aren’t bad – they’re just too weak. (35/50 points) Finish: Short. Dry, slightly bitter oak. At least it’s smooth. (17/25) points) Conclusion: This is about as plain and unremarkable as you can get and still be a Bourbon. Whilst drinking it, I just kept thinking that it was the thinnest whiskey I’ve ever had – it was as if I was drinking something better with ice and left the drink out for a while before returning, with the ice melted and the whiskey back up to room temperature. That being said, it doesn’t taste bad or rough like a lot of objectively bad whiskies. I’d certainly never a buy a bottle of this, but it’s probably a decent buy for people just getting into brown liquor. 72/100
