Remember that eclipse from 2 years ago? The one which was seen fully in a straight line from Oregon to South Carolina? Well, that eclipse passed through a portion of Wyoming where this distillery is located . Not having researched this fully, I’m not sure if it was simply released that day and slapped on with a pretty label, or if there was something special done in casks, maturation or other aspects to make it truly one-off special. The pragmatist in me says it’s a label slap on. The romantic in me hopes for the one-off. Either way...this is pretty good. Classic bourbon profile of oak, baking spices, all enveloped by a sweetness. I’ve been a huge fan of Wyoming Whiskey, with a very personal bent towards all its products ever since I visited them years ago during a vacation to Wyoming. Thanks to @GeologyJack for the pour! I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now.

@SolanaRoots oh yeah! How can I forget? I think I was partial to them, which is why I rated it so highly
@PBMichiganWolverine Did you also visit Westland? I vaguely recall you getting a bottle of a distillery exclusive that you rated highly
@GeologyJack you know, the folks at Wyoming Whiskey should’ve thought of that story. That easily would’ve added 20% premium! Either way, I have a special place in my heart for distilleries I’ve visited (Cotswold , Lakes, and this are the only 3). Will always be a fan
I think that they probably just used a special label for the day. But I’m sure the effects of the sun’s corona penetrated the barrels and made the whiskey something very special (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!).
