Raided Score: 89The Whiskey Jug By Josh Peters This is a nicely balanced bourbon that’s heavy without being overbearing and without any killer heat. It’s a brooding and tasty whiskey I’m looking forward to drinking more of. Read Full Review Raided Score: 85The Daily Pour By t8ke I like this, but it was much hotter than other batches I've had and that will unfortunately drop this a notch or so.

House Review
Nose:
Honey, tobacco, caramel and cola. Rich nougat and vanilla cream. Light pepper influence.
Taste:
Oaky, rich caramel. Medium to thick mouth feel, pepper, tobacco and thick tannins. Heat comes storming in.
Finish:
Long, but very hot. Almost punishing. Oaky, dry pepper. Lots of tobacco, vanilla cream and some cherry cola.
Overall:
I like this, but it was much hotter than other batches I've had and that will unfortunately drop this a notch or so.
