I got a sample of this from a friend and I’m kinda glad I didn’t buy it for myself. The nose was overpowered by ethanol leaving very little else to detect, the palate is boring and the finish evaporated. Given current bourbon trends and hipster lingo, I’d call this a minimalist bourbon... minimum age, minimum flavor complexity and minimum value for price. I hope they left some of this in the barrel for future years. It’ll probably have some potential once it graduates high school, but for now... it’s a kind of an annoying little 6th grader that just wants your money.

Great review. My experience sampling their rye was identical to your experience with this bourbon. The rye was even younger and had little flavor other than pure alcohol.
