So, I have said some bad things about this brand, but in my defense I've never said it about their official bottles. I actually think their official stuff is priced insanely well for what it is. the VERY little I've had. Nose - FRUITY PEBBLES! This is almost making me think of a suicide where you mix all the soda together and I don't think there's a nose to that but it's kinda like the whisky feel. It's got a kick of alcohol I wasn't expecting. There's that mineral note but it's so sweet and fruit that it doesn't bother me like it does on other bottles. The oak level is perfect, letting that fruity note dominate while it just hangs in there. Taste - more fruity pebbles and minerals and just sweet caramel covered fruits. This works because the oak is there, but the sweetness and minerals are more dominate and that sweet dominates. I think when the mineral notes and oak get together, it's a no go. OK I love this for about 40 bucks. It's one of the sweetest bourbons I've had while having a cool funky finish that doesn't bother me. But I love it for 40 and I think the price is a bit over 40. Add in no it's not complex per say. So my score of a 2.5 is crazy good imo. I really like this offering, it's unique and good. When it comes to value and unique get one man.
