So, I don't have a bottle as this is a sample from Matt - Whiskey crusader. And this is the likely to be MUCH discussed "youtuber" barrel pick. I'll move if someone ever puts that up.
Nose – spicy and cinnamon with oak and leather. There’s some vanilla and sweetness that’s just kinda generic, maybe marzipan (I have zero idea what that is).
Taste – oh (yes I said that out loud when I tried it), rich and powerful flavors, and insanely drying. High proof and different. There’s a sweetness almost like a pie filling but not distinct. There’s a touch of that Texas funk but not bad at all not over powering and on here very inviting.
I’ve gone from not impressed to impressed. I went from good to great to good. I’m all over the place here. I can’t honestly believe this is the same bourbon as the regular harbinger this is a million times better.
3.5 which is a very high Texas whisky score from me. If you want a Texas "ECBP" then this is it. It tastes older, it's rich, it's deep, and powerful. God this is 150+ dollar bourbon guys.
