Scored a bottle of this at Walmart of all places for $75 after seeing it around town for $100+.
Let’s see what all the fuss is abou...Whoa. Wow. I’m going to combine the nose and palate here because this is literally liquid Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in a bottle! Not much else going on except some vanilla and maybe a little bit of maple along with a hint of the MGP rye profile in the finish, but you have to dig for it. That’s it. Hard to believe you are even drinking a 100 proof whiskey because this drinks more like a flavored liqueur.
Mouthfeel is a little thinner than I’d like for such a rich sweet flavor profile, but it’s a minor gripe.
I have to be honest, I don’t even mind the lack of complexity when the flavor you do get is this good. I wavered between a 4.5 and a 4.75 and then I remembered most are going to have to pay $100 for it so went with the 4.5. Even at that price I’d say buy it if you can get your hands on it for a totally unique experience.

Yeah, this is really tasty stuff. Tragically though, the price. I'm actually surprised that it's a full twice the cost of the Angel's Envy bourbon.
