  • This is a really unique, cask-strength bottle of bourbon. I’m not sure I’ve ever tasted anything like it (crazy how much watermelon I tasted).

House Review
  • Nose:

    Bold butter pecan, toffee, peanut brittle and a touch of barrel char. Light cherry, a touch of mango, bright caramel candies and a hint of honey roasted peanut.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel, heat is well placed, ethanol behaving nicely. Honey roasted peanuts once again, a touch of melon, vanilla bean, butterscotch candies and a nice oak influence. Great texture, a touch of minerality, orange peel and a long, creamy note on the back palate.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, a touch oaky which blends nicely with the butterscotch, faint barrel char, touch of honey and a hint of circus peanut candies.

  • Overall:

    Overall, this is damn enjoyable. It’s complex, diverse, a bit unique and ties everything together with just enough oak to be greatly interesting.

  • Score:
