Sourced High Rye Bourbon finished in Sherried Casks.(Purchased a 50ml bottle/750ml runs about $40). APPEARANCE: Strawberry Blonde in color. NOSE: Smells young. Youthful heat and Spicy Rye. Young Oak. Prominent Sherry. Floral and Fruity. Almost has a scotch-ish nose. NEAT: Here the youth is confirmed. Thin and hot. Slightly Oaky. Astringent and Spicy. The Sherry dominates, making it difficult to pick up any other notes (if there are any there at all). With time it develops some hints of Apple and Pear. Finishes hot with Sherry, Oak and Tingly Pepper coating. SPLASH: Tames some of the heat on the nose and allows some of the fruit notes to come to the front. Doesn't do much for the palate other than tame some of the heat on the finish. VERDICT: As a fan of their beers (Lonerider is one of the largest craft breweries in NC) and a fellow North Carolinian, I wanted to like this one. I think there is potential here, but the whiskey they are sourcing is apparently very young. It seems if you were going to go to all the trouble to source (which I have absolutely zero issue with) you should at least purchase whiskey with some decent age already on it. I'm hoping that in a couple years I can re-visit this one and have a more positive review.
