Produced by an Undisclosed distiller for Lux Row, this bourbon is a release under their brand umbrella, sporting no age statement and a 45% ABV bottling strength.
The palate is juicy and miraculously balances a circus of extreme flavors, clarified butter initially, roasted peanuts, char marks, vanilla, and wood tannins on the finish. This is one worth sipping all evening.
A surprising bottle that may just be a bottom shelf gem. Great complexity for what I perceive as a fairly young bottling, with some great flavor along for the ride as well.

House Review
Nose:
Fresh and fruit forward, with some vanilla to keep things interesting. Young apple, some pear.
Taste:
Sweet cream, fresh honey. A bit of oak and pepper. Surprising oak character here as well. Cocoa and some caramel. Surprising complexity.
Finish:
A bit young on the finish, but showing far more complexity than I’d have expected. Plenty of oak, caramel, spice and light pepper.
Overall:
A surprising bottle that may just be a bottom shelf gem. Great complexity for what I perceive as a fairly young bottling, with some great flavor along for the ride as well.
