Nose – some nice oak and then boom buffalo trace level’s of cherry but then it just keeps going, it’s cough syrup levels. There’s an odd muted kinda oak blanket coating bringing down the nose. It’s weird. OK there’s a but of fresh cut grass.
Taste – It’s like port, spearmint, oak, it reminds me of that really good tasting grape cough medicine I had as a kid. What in the world. The finish is oaky but neither pleasant or not. Some leather and a touch of funk.
I’m describing a really odd whisky but this is pretty cool. Has a lot of bourbon notes, it’s not “Texas funk” at all. I’d really be happy with this at 60-70, no clue the price point but under 100 and this wouldn’t be a terrible buy. I’m more like 50 if I were to get 2 bottles.
Score 2.25. This is above average, unique, but not a wow bottle.

I remember that grape cough medicine! It was good, but not what I want in my whiskey. Thanks for the review.
