Aroma is soft, pleasant, fruity and my favorite part of the whiskey with its layered dessert sweet delivery… just wish those butyric and young woody notes weren’t there; Palate starts tight and overly “crafty”, but slowly opens to something more fruity and rustic though it never looses that craft-woody-saw-dusty dominance; Finish starts woody and fades to a fruity note that reminds me of good Chilean Pisco (Bau Barroetta 9 year to be exact)… so odd.

I lived in Denver for a long time. I want Laws to be better than it is but I’m always let down. Their BiB 4 grain bourbon is quite good I recall.
I haven't tried this one, but the other Laws that I have tried also have that craft note - I've always thought of it as being more grainy than sawdust, but I'm sure we're talking about the same thing. Unfortunate, because this distillery is trying some interesting grains and mashbills
