Laws Four Grain Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Colorado, USA

What better way to kill an hour at the Denver airport than to try a local Colorado craft distillery? With craft Americans, I’ve learned they fall into three categories:
1) tried and tested must haves: the likes of Del Bac Dorado, McKenzie and High West.
2) on the fence, depends on product and batch: High West, Westland, Balcones , Westward, New Southern Distillery, St George
3) try at bar: countless to list
This one falls in (3). I’m glad I’ve tried a local CO product, but not worth the asking price of $80-100USD. Nose is mild—almost like sourdough bread. You get more action in the palette—rye being the foremost.
Overall, interesting pour—try at a bar to experiment or experience.

@jonwilkinson7309 I was really disappointed with AD Laws. I felt Stranahan’s was eons better ( I left them out...they’re category 2 in my opinion )
Interesting list of crafts. I've been on the fence with picking up a bottle of Westward, and I guess I'm still on the fence! Two others that are in the first category for me (although I need to try a few more offerings to be sure) are Wanderback and Oppidan. I have a bottle of the AD Laws BIB, and have found it to have some odd vegetal funk, something I've never experienced with a bourbon before. So no - not worth the price.
@WhiskeyLonghorn I just had the Secale Rye—that was disappointing. Should’ve spent that $15 on getting chocolates for the kids
@PBMichiganWolverine the BIB and CS versions are better but still don’t punch in the $80-$100 weight class...
@Soba45 seems like another 1 hour flight delay—-might try the secale rye and see if that’s more up my alley
@PBMichiganWolverine Ah actually ignore my comment, I did try this one and liked it so skip the rest! :-)
@Soba45 this isn’t bad...just...bland
Ah interesting. I have tried a few of theirs and quite liked them but not this one. I'd have a crack at some of their other stuff if not already..should be an improvement!
