Dark Horse Reserve Bourbon

30-gallon barrels, not 15. Lenexa is 15 minutes from downtown Kansas City and well within the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Thank you for the impartial feedback. You should stick to facts in the product description section. A name is just a name. If you disapprove of our use of "Reserve," let your audience decide. Do not begin by casting a negative light on us for everyone using your app. I appreciate the concept of what you're developing, but it appears to be somewhat biased on the part of your creators. I'm rating your app one star due to a lack of leadership and industry professionalism.

This bourbon offers a somewhat diluted flavor. The alcohol heat arrives and vanishes swiftly, leaving one questioning if it was consumed. The bottle is attractive and would produce a refined Manhattan, yet I am not eager to acquire another.

Now has a new label as "Union Horse" (perhaps due to Alberta dark horse?). It's somewhat intense and sharp. The taste is nicely complex, but it could be smoother. Hints of dried fruit, subtle sherry, and wood characteristics are present.

It's more sweet than spicy, with a hint of smoke. The mouthfeel is full and smooth, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. I find it preferable to certain higher-rated bourbons, such as Four Roses Small Batch.

Spice is most prominent in this bourbon. You feel the warmth all the way down. Oaky aftertaste lingers. Not really a whisky for sipping; shoot it or mix it.

A decent rye for its cost. However, reserve this one for cocktails and save your better bottles for something with more character.
