This was a gift from a friend who knows I like (understatement) bourbon. He himself isn’t a whisk(e)y afficianido. I’m not sure he knew what he was buying for me the it’s the thought that counts. I long opened it and stashed it in the back of the shelf, waiting to revisit it. This tasting was done under the influence of the man flu... mostly for medicinal purposes. Yellow-golden in color with medium-light body. The nose is peat, peat, Oceanside bar-b-q and a bit of pungent sweetness (reminds me of dark agave) with floral and leather notes pulling things oddly together. Makes the sinuses feel better so far. There’s a tingle on the tongue with lots of smoke and charcoal up front - not spice so much, maybe ethanol? The back of the tongue picks up bitter orange, oak and the agave-like sweetness again. The finish is dry and short. Would I buy it myself? No. Will I sleep better tonight? Only time will tell but all signs point toward yes.
