This sample, courtesy of @dubz480480, was such an appropriate pick while watching last night’s episode of GoT. This is not your smooth, elegant bourbon, but rather a rough and tough full onslaught of barrel char, oak and vanilla with a lingering spice with more of that char. Out of the hundreds of tastings I’ve had, it’s been a long time since a whiskey’s made me cough at first sip and feel that burn down your throat. This is strong and potent. Not sure I’d manage a bottle, but I can easily see this in a mixed cocktail. It can hold its own. And then some. Thanks @dubz480 for the generous pour!
