So know what you are getting into here. This is a very smooth but very extreme flavored whiskey. Its going to hit you hard with the smokey wood on the palate. This bottle would be amazing for smokey old fashion. Its almost not even oak, i feel like i’m sipping jack daniels (but much smoother) and eating pecan smoked pork sausage. It will remind you of a texas bourbon, just way better tasting and not sweet at all. So if u want some unique woody smoke in your life, grab a bottle. But if you are looking for sweet bourbon, this is not your bottle.
