Well this one was a little surprising, the reviews were a bit ambivalent so I honestly didn’t know what to expect. This is essentially a “Beam” clone but it’s a pretty darn good clone. I got a nutty and dusty peanut shell nose that follows into the body with sweet corn and an almond vanilla fullness, a little smoke char showed up for me too. This was surprisingly fulfilling considering the body didn’t have the thicker mouth feel I expected. At 45 proof you get a little zip at the end which isn’t harsh but doesn’t apologize for showing up either. You pick up a little vanilla sweetness and then it says who’s fooling who, it lingers nicely. I really enjoyed this one, this was interesting and fairly priced. I would’ve picked it at $30 and that’s right where it’s at here. Not overly sweet and balanced well enough to have another. Based on the reviews here I think this one is a little underrated. If its time to fish or cut bait with this this one, bait up and lets go fishing. ***EDITED*** @BeppeCovfefe correctly noted that the proofing for this whiskey is actually 50 ABV whereas I stated above that it is 45 proof. The Old Dude thanks you for proof reading my proof - 😇
