In honor of staying out of the rain and society, NO I AM NOT actively isolating myself from the huflue, just enjoying life, I've dusted off this bottle of David Nicholson setting on my shelf. It's a low dollar bottle so expectations are fairly low, this is a Luxco product and reputedly sourced from various distilleries, so as much as always YOUR mileage may vary. If you handed me a snifter of this my first inclination would be "oh this from Barton" it's a load of musty dusty barn wood with a faint hint of sweet honey and corn. On the nose, nothing wrong with it but nothing special either. Taking a taste I would say THIS IS Very Old Barton, one of the higher proof offerings and I would probably bet a good stack of dollar bills on it. Really nothing like Weller or Makers so these are NOT all a "wheated" mash and that suggestion is way off the mark. I would give this a strong corn with the average 25% of rye and barley. Another possibility would be a HH's Evan 1783 in this style of mash. So is that bad? No of course not, but it's not a "hidden gem" bottle either, you certainly wouldn't want to overpay for this juice. Adding a snit of water takes away some of the after burn and mellows it just a bit making it a nice 100 proof standard corn bourbon. In a few years, we'll see what the rebooted Lux Row distillery does with this, assuming they keep the label active, but right now in no way is this a "must try", I would say much more it's for the average curious enthusiast like myself, and of course those on a serious budget. At the worst a bottle of this will keep you warm on a cold night and help chase the flu bugs away! Cheers and be well!
