Nose – ok I’m getting a bit of a scotch note here. Refill casks with citrus and some pineapple and a good bit of oak. The oak here however is a second fill or so bourbon cask like element. Taste – Very fruity, light, tropical fruits, a touch of salt, light wood, dry but not offensively so on the tongue. This is very much reminding me of a 10-15-year-old speyside or highland fruity light malted whisky from refilled bourbon casks (though could have first fill in the mix). There’s some bite from the oak casks and it’s a bit more drying as I sip. The finish had herbal spices and some lemon grass elements. Oh, a touch of menthol just showed up on the finish. I also might change the herbal idea to tea, green tea. Overall, I get ZERO Texas notes here. I frankly was confused as I started this blind and quickly started to wonder how in the heck it was a Texas whisky. I like it and I think this could pass as a 100-150-dollar scotch. Not one I’d be happy about, but I could see it. 60-80 bucks is about where I’d guess that value is here, but I’d rather it be less. The more I go back to this pour the less I am impressed. I guess as that shock value fades. Anyway, another thanks to Matt and another Texas whisky I’m impressed with. We’re going 2.0 here. It’s honestly an average whisky but let’s be real the average whisky these days is pretty tasty and that’s exactly what this is. There is something to be said about the cool factor of this really being like a scotch, but I can't bump the score over just that.
