Really nice sip, here. Peaty, but not overwhelming, bit of a burn but still smooth. I dig this one.

This one hits all the right notes.

Simplicity is a dish best served…simply. I feel like an old man in a hat sitting in his favorite booth in what used to be a dimly lit casual watering hole but has now become a gastropub with a weird ass menu. But I’m still in my booth ordering a burger. The burger is this whiskey. Are there better whiskeys? Yes. But they are complicated and I’m scared so I stick with this one, in my booth, in my hat, while the world passes me by. It’s fairly smooth, the mouth feel is nice, I just feel like it’s not got a lot going on. Splash of water washes out any roughness so it’s even more drinkable. But to what point and purpose? What’s it all for? So we can stay in our booths? So we can all wear hats?

Nose of cherries and molasses. Definitely a bourbon, probably barrel strength. The more I sip it, the better it gets.

Curtis Mulder

Really good heat. Burnt caramel. I could drink this nightly.

James Hopkins

I enjoyed this…and with good company!

Hallie Knuffman

Easy drinker, especially compared to yesterday. Smooth, sweet fruity.

Nate Knuffman

Nose has some wood and cherry. Good spicy finish. Not quite up to last night's standard, but it's solid.

Ben Freeman

Damn, starting out hot. Dried fruit/fruitcake/raisins on the nose. Lots of heat on the first sip. Tastes like a Sherried Cask Scotch?

Almond extract and fruity cherry on the nose with some citrus. Relatively light and smooth easy drinking. Like a candied green Apple finish with a little Cherry. May be young and cheap but I like it.

John McDowell

Solid dram. Is that wheat I taste? Not a fan of wheat …or peat…or probably most things that rhyme with ‘eet’

Wil Saleeby

I hate it! But I love it!

Wil Saleeby

Nice! Check the tree…Done and done!

- Why is it so spicy? - Brown sugar, rich, dark, but the alcohol burn removes some of the capacity to enjoy; far from smooth - Some interesting floral notes

Sweet heat. Overripe cherries and vanilla nose. Black currant, caramel finish.

Tastes like a rye-heavy Tennessee whiskey. A bit spicy for my taste but I respect what it’s up to.

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Sweet and smooth early, with some heat at the end. I like this one.

Zach Bennett

Very interesting one here.

Jim Faria

Strength over powered the front end. Warm silky finish.

alright we got vanilla, caramel. syrupy. is hot and I added water but honestly preferred without. can't un-add water. brown sugar! some kinda nut. bit of licorice. black walnut. wine? long linger aftertaste is a spoiled warm sour. shoes. young. Cydne strongly dislikes this one!

Josh Light

Little hot on the initial sip, but it settled down after a couple sips and a drop of water. Little perplexed on the notes but getting some caramel notes with hints of cherry, maybe. Being Day 2, enjoyed this one.

This smells and tastes very familiar. Is this Woodford Double Oak? Plenty of sweetness and a slightly elevated heat. Overall, very solid. I’d be happy if I ordered this at a bar downtown.

'Twas the night of the second tasting, and all through the room, I took a deep whiff, but the scent had no boom. A faint hint of maple, some vanilla so sweet, But I craved something stronger, a more vivid treat. On first sip, caramel, so smooth and so mild, The flavor’s subdued, not intense or wild. I don’t love it, I don’t hate it, it’s somewhere between, It’s missing the punch that I hoped to glean. Is it a bourbon? I can’t say with ease, But as a warm-up, it’s gentle, it frees. A quiet beginning, not bold or bizarre, A simple start before the night goes far.
