I hate to say it, because I’ve really heard a lot about what this distillery is doing for the Texas whiskey scene, but I (after 4 times going back over 6 months) DO NOT like this whiskey. Nose: dark DARK fruit, barrel mustiness, the slight tinge of rotting leaves that I hate about the newest expressions of Highland Park 12. Just very old and musty tasting which is not what I look for in a malt heavy whiskey. Taste: Almost exactly the same as the nose. Raisins dominate with a slight sugariness. The mid pallet and finish I just don’t like. Not going to get into any tasting notes because I can barely stomach it. Its just not my thing. Not faulting you for linking this whiskey. Sometimes people don’t understand why I like Islay peated Scotch so much and I think this whiskey is just the same. It’s a very acquired taste that I don’t think I’ll ever acquire the taste for. This is a just ones opinion, don’t let this sway your opinion by any means. Especially for all the accolades this distillery has won over the past few years.
