Possesses a rich dark caramel hue and leaves long, thick legs. The initial aroma offered a hint of cinnamon candy and vanilla, with a very subtle ethanol presence similar to many craft bourbons. The rye character was noticeable throughout the palate. Notes of vanilla, oak, and floral elements emerged in the finish. Adding a few drops of water or ice might reveal additional nuances.

Received this as my first bottle after joining Tasters Club. Eager to try it.
A pretty decent local bourbon. I detect a slightly warm, buttery taste.
Very happy with this local whiskey. Great flavor, nice burn!
Complete waste. Likely the worst bourbon I have ever encountered.
Special edition from the distillery, further matured in rum casks.
