  • It’s fun stuff, but not nearly as fun as the ephemera for the whiskey.

  • By Jim Vorel
  • Despite the admittedly novel mash bills, a 6-7 year old bourbon blend from MGP of Indiana isn’t a terribly hard thing to come across for significantly less money than $150.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Lovely, confectionery nose with plenty going on. Lots of cherry and apple fritter with powdered donuts, nougat, butter cream, vanilla cake, cinnamon and nutmeg

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel. Big caramel apple note on the palate, joined by cinnamon, clove, pepper, oak and a touch of cranberry

  • Finish:

    Long, lovely finish. Oak opens and is followed by pepper, tannin and more apple character

  • Overall:

    Really lovely bourbon. Loads of apple character and perfectly oaky.

  • Score:

    88
