Never seen this before in GA, so it was a definite “must buy” when I stumbled upon it in a NC ABC Store while on vacation. Nose is slightly herbal and spicy, but predominantly “bourbony.” I don’t know the mashbill on this one, but I’d say it’s barely legal. It’s nice and warm and sweet, just like a good bonded whiskey should be. Not too harsh at all, but the higher proof is certainly noticeable. The same spiced bourbon flavor is present on the palate. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it certainly satisfies. The flavors start to open up when you add some ice or chill it slightly. The finish is moderate and agreeable. I agree with others that this would make a phenomenal old fashioned. For the price, I’d buy it often (if it were available in my dangumblasted state.) My only regret is that the tightly sealed, half-open bottle somehow leaked during transit, so now I’m short a couple ounces of fine rye whiskey and I’m left with a pair of booze-scented Levi’s and a coy expression on my face as I shake my fist at the sky and ponder the mysteries of life, happiness and freewill. Stay zesty, my friends.
