2oz pour This is what happens when you put a good Kentucky bourbon to age on a ship for 6 months travelling the world’s oceans. It tastes like a good Kentucky bourbon. ‘MURRICA! It’s like a weary xenophobic traveler that becomes only more ingrained in its traditional Kentucky roots after languishing in the greater world. Big cask strength Kentucky hug. Vanilla, butterscotch, and dark fruits. Huge bourbon spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried orange peels. Nicely balanced oak. Where’s the ocean influence? There is no brine, no salt, no “seaspray”, just Kentucky. The bottling idea is gimmicky, but the contents are a solid classic. The pricing for the non-CS releases are a little suspect, but at ~90 USD for a good CS bourbon, that’s fair, and I might pick up a bottle. 89/100.
