A blind tasting with companions. It starts sweet with apple notes, followed by a mildly herbaceous finish. It ranked in the upper half of the whiskies sampled. It's difficult to judge definitively from a small amount when tasting 10-11 spirits, but I believe I would favor it over the Pinhook bourbon I've sampled previously.
