I received an already opened bottle of this from someone and finally got around to a review as I'm close to killing this off. The bottle is pretty neat, all embossed and old school looking, and it comes with an actual cork - just cork, like a bottle of rum in a pirate movie.
So what is this like other than the beautiful bottle? The nose is ethanol, brown sugar and spice. A bit youthful but the relatively low ABV helps keep that young spirit in check and it is pretty decent overall. Similar notes on the palate but it gives way on the finish to dark fruit and more ethanol and spice on the finish. There is something off in the finish - it has an artificial taste to it, like Splenda?
The finish is throwing me off, but overall it's okay. Nothing special though. It appears this is nearly $50 though. I wouldn't recommend spending anything close to that on this.

Great point. This just supports the sheep mentality many of these sourced products count on
@Ctrexman Imagine looking at OF 1920, Rare Breed (for $5 less) and this and choosing this - the youngest, lowest ABV one with the least flavor because it had a neat bottle. I’ll wager this happens all day, every day.
Often overlooked, OF1920 is in the same price range and is outstanding
@Ctrexman That’s exactly what it is.
Sounds like another overpriced sourced bourbon relying on marketing to sell
