This is perfect for someone who is over all the old standbys on the shelf and want a new added layer to the regular, vanilla, fruit and oak tasting notes.
All in all, well, it works. High West even goes so far as to say “you may not like it at first” but I’m liking it from the get-go. All kinds of complexity here — tobacco leaf, tea, wood, leather, blackberries — but it all comes together in the end.

House Review
Nose:
Its sweet like bourbon with a mild smokey undertone. Vanilla, then smoke. Molasses, then smoke. On and on.
Taste:
This is a funky dram, its sweet and hits all the bourbon notes and then smoke rolls in. I like it a lot, because its not too overwhelming in one way or another. Lots of vanilla, molasses, cinnamon, smoke and a hint of icing.
Finish:
Its not wildly long, but its not short or harsh. High West knows what they are doing.
Overall:
Its funky. I like it. I want more of it. I might give this bottle a second look someday. Very unique. Points for creativity.
