This stuff is absolute garbage without barrel aging. To the guy who said “those who give it a crappy score don’t like high proof or whiskey at all” is a dope. This stuff is meant to be aged and barreled not drank the way it is sold. I purchased this to experiment with charred oak staves and will update after aging process is complete. Bottom line, don’t buy this if you think you’re buying a BT product that will taste good because it has their name on the bottle because you will not enjoy this straight.
