Sadie Nance 3.5 June 2025

This resembles a bourbon-style whiskey, even utilizing first-fill barrels from Kentucky. Considering it's locally produced and affordably priced, I'm thoroughly impressed.

How the score is built

3.50 is the plain average of 2 reviews.

The 3.74 score we rank by pulls that average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
