I occasionally like to stop into the local mom & pop liquor and look through their selection. It’s a small store packed to the ceiling, but they always manage to get the unique and hard to find bottles. While they didn’t have the bottle I was hoping for, I opted to pick this one up. Up front is an alcohol taste immediately followed by Smokey oak. The 100 proof is clearly present. The aftertaste of smoked corn really lingers. Unfortunately, I overpaid. This would serve as a good bourbon for mixers, but for the price, I feel there are better bourbons out there.
