Nose: Surprisingly boozy for a lower proof, with a peaty aroma. Taste: Sweet, but with a profile closer to Scotch than bourbon, though caramel and vanilla notes are present towards the finish. Not a preferred choice, but it would likely pair well with smoked meats.

About this bottle
Distilled three times, this expression uses a mash bill of 80% yellow #2 Texas corn and 20% Oklahoma winter rye (Secale Cereale). Following maturation in new, American white oak, the whiskey is reduced to 85 proof using Hill Country Artesian Spring Water before it is bottled.

Blind tasting with companions. Features craft whiskey notes of cedar. Some disagreeable elements. Not ideal.
I tried it a second time to see if I had missed something the first time, but no, I still don't like this one.
Not to my preference
