It's just like I remembered.

I love it! Such complex citrus, dark fruits on the nose and on the palette. The first sip knocked me over, glad I got back up.

Nice strong start this year. Has notes of vanilla and oak, like Woodford Reserve. Good stuff!
John McDowell

Man this stuff is ridiculously good. Well done Umbro. A yardstick dram for sure

A real solid bourbon with a nice kick. Easy to see why this won last year.

Had this next to Four Roses and it's even better then I remember. A lot of fruit, some cinnamon, just super sweet.
James Hatfield
Hanky
Hard to guess. Seems like high proof, earthy like a rye and tastes like top shelf.
Mark Peters
Shaft
Really tasty, picking up some wine so I think it's Angel's Envy
Justin Carroll
Umbro (Justin Carroll)
Very smooth throughout. This could easily find a spot in my liquor cabinet.
Josh Mitchell

Easy to drink with a more subtle kick at the end. Smooth every day bourbon, but nothing overly exciting about it.

Like the nose on this one. Tastes of tamarind or apricot or other bitter fruit. Finish flattens out a bit too fast for a higher proof whiskey.

Similar to myself in high school, it’s just not very mature or well-rounded. That said, it seems suited for mix in a cocktail.
James Hopkins

Not as strong, but easy to nurse. My kind of Whisky...

Quotes
No nose compared to that Elijah Craig yesterday. Very smooth dark fruit taste, not the best finish. Goes down easy, partly due to the low proof. I think this is my selection JTS Brown. Really enjoy and would drink regularly.

Interesting taste. Maybe licorice. Not my favorite.
John McDowell

Don’t know why I keep smelling bananas (banana pudding?) on the nose- very faint as it is. Very good bourbon.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
That 🍒 taste is great, but the finish is a bit weak. Would love if it was more balanced, but a bit inconsistent.
James Hatfield
Hanky
Not enough flavor to this one. Seems a bit thin to me.
Matt Eagle

This smells and tastes so familiar. Is it Woodford? Bulleit? Knob Creek? In any case, highly enjoyable and well balanced. An easy crowd pleaser.
James Hopkins

Tastes like it’s been watered down some—I’m banking on something like Jameson..

Citrus on the nose. Sweet start and a little medicinal on the finish. Interesting whiskey
Mark Peters
Shaft
Pretty, pretty good

Nice balance on this one. Like the finish’s notes of orange and cream. Had a hard time figuring out which type, so Other it is.

Gets better with each sip. Not overly complex, but very tasty. Would drink again.
