This "bourbon" if you can actually call it bourbon is one of the worst tasting whiskey I've ever had. The flavor is extremely rough and its young as far as it age date. I live in Alabama and its warm most of the year so as far as the whiskey getting to condense and expand between winter months and the warmer months it doesn't have the extreme temperatures to make a whiskey taste become complex. I'm not a hater by any means but this stuff is undeniable and don't believe any of the so called hype because this stuff sits on the shelf at the local state stores here in Mobile Alabama because the true whiskey drinkers won't touch it.
