Well, lets just do this. Nose - so the bourbon is really light on the nose. Vanilla. So I gave it a bit of a shake and I'm getting some vegetable notes. So I don't get peat here, just vegetable notes and some vanilla notes. It's kinda boring. When I shook it I get some alcohol, it was harsh but that's not normal, unless you're shaking the hell out of a glass to get a nose, this won't happen. Add 10 minutes in the glass. OK I get more traditional bourbon oak and vanilla notes. There's a hint of a mint too which I associate with rye, not sure where that's coming from. This is a bit higher rye mash bill than some bourbons. Taste - This is the most disjointed whisky I can think of. Now that's not bad by itself. The taste to finish is about as long and complex as I can think of with a 4 year old whisk. So it's vanilla, steamed funky vegetables, hints of oak, and really minty spearmint and oak. So is it good? Not really. I love the long lingering finish and the complexity. I however don't really enjoy any of the flavors or what we get with all that. A lot of those notes I think are harping on this is young bourbon AND they added this odd peat that doesn't work here. I think these needed 5 or so more years of age to work. I just can't see why or who would like this. If you're looking for strange and unique whisky this is one to try. I don't hate it and I don't think this is without any value. So 1 star. I'd avoid the hell out of this. Given this was a one off distillery pick only and they sold out in an hour. Don't chase this secondary unless you're just a fan boy of weird. If that's you then have at it.
