Barrel 18, bottle 80, 56.3 abv. An interesting bourbon. Not complex in terms of range of flavors, but the flavors most forward are not usually found in bourbons. Not bad for the presumably 2-4 year age. Wish they were more open about where this was coming from. I assume they distill it, but the label days "bottled by", so idk.

@BDanner Thanks for the tip! I hope for their sake they make it a point to say their product is now distilled in house, because it's a unique bourbon and much better than most craft products I've tried.
Yes...Just confirmed that any barrel 17 and up are distilled on site in Durham, NC. They sourced from MGP for their Bourbon Liqueur in 2013 and contract distilled in 2014 and 2015.
I was curious as well. From what I get from their website, it is their distillate. It has a rather unique mashbill with 45% wheat.
