Hmmm. This stuff perplexed me. The first few drinks seemed harsh and kind of bitter, as if the whiskey was aged in barrels made from railroad ties. I wasn’t all that impressed, but it still tasted like bourbon. Fast forward about two weeks. The 3/4 full bottle had a chance to oxidize a bit and the flavors changed dramatically. Caramel, nutmeg, vanilla and custard dance around my tongue buds like Yuletide sugarplum pixies, and I’m a happy camper. It’s a very smooth drink with a short(ish) finish. Think WT101 with a bit more depth and less bite. It’s not befuddlingly-tasty or orgasmically-nuanced, but it’s affordable and it’s enjoyable and way you choose to drink it. Thank you, Russell. You made a great bourbon and I really enjoyed you in “Big Trouble in Little China”.
