Bryanna Dexter
A woodsy, almost pine-like aroma. A strong oak taste with an herbal, medicinal finish. Short on the palate. I likely won't buy it again, but it was an enjoyable local product to sample.

Average overall. Strong caramel flavor but brief on the palate. A short, smoky tail with a quick burn at the end.

4.0
I was concerned this would be bad, but it's a solid local Whiskey. Tasted like it has some rye in it.

3.0
Gentle aroma, brief, warm finish, hints of caramel, grapes, and subtle cinnamon or spice, sweeter.
