This is a quick hit review. Initial reaction from neck pour. I’ll come back later with detailed notes. Just wanted to acknowledge @Ctrexman @Richard-ModernDrinking . Consider yourselves officially influencers. I ran out and grabbed this after reading your high praise review. I henceforth proclaim this bottling, The Curious Case of Benjamin Burton because EVERYTHING about it is counterintuitive. Or, it may be more appropriately called Freaky Friday since I cracked this open yesterday, the last Friday in November 2020...and because clearly, an American single malt has switched bodies with a Scottish highlander. It noses like a bourbon and drinks like a scotch. It’s young juice but tastes older. It is aging backwards and tasting forward. It IS good whiskey PoD. Good whiskey it IS.
Stay tuned for the upcoming breakdown.

Ive been through 3 bottles of this stuff. Very consistent and delicious
@Benji-Robert 3.25 is kind of a high score for me. But also leaving some room for improvement. This was just neck pour first impression. Will probably get up to 3.75 - 4 by bottle kill. Buy with confidence if you can find for sub-$35
why only 3.25?
@ContemplativeFox Haha thanks
@CKarmios Haha quite possibly. A bit of an enigma, this one was. Enjoyed it just the same.
A fun read :) Next time you're in a museum with a cubist exhibit, you should hang a copy of this review on the wall and see if anybody notices.
Ah a review preview - you sound confused :-)
