Dude. Duuuuude. Duuuuuuuuuuuude. This is the smoothest bourbon I've ever tasted. Tied the Belle Meade but this one set me back quite a bit more. Toasty. Structured. Delicious. Viscous. Honeysuckle on the front, going to very toasted oak with a definite maturity. @Jason Brater good stuff!! — 6 years ago
Amber color with medium legs. Very pronounced aromas of peet, freshly cut grass, and the smell of a beach bonfire the morning after! Secondary notes of vanilla and toasted oak and even a bit of rubber. On the palate, integrated alcohol with very smooth mouthfeel. Finish is medium + with delightful aftertaste. — 9 years ago
Rectified 10 YO Bourbon 🥃. Full, slightly oily and with a little grit. Nutty with mild spice. Good for what it is! — 6 years ago
This stuff is awesome. I wish I had more. Vanilla. Honey. Oak. Smooth. — 6 years ago
Burnished copper. Aromas of maple syrup, toasted oak, almond, dried fruits, and cherry liquor. Flavors echo the above, plus malted cereal and rum-soaked raisins. Long, very complex finish. — 9 years ago

I’ve never had a swing of opinion larger that this. I originally rated this 6.2 and panned it (below). I just stuck this in the back of my bar and forgot about it for months. When I rediscovered it, it (or maybe I) was totally different. Complex, luscious with a long finish and amazing flavors or spice, vanilla, oak, brown sugar and rosemary. It’s a miracle!!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: This just sucks, I guess? Multiple tries over a week and all I get is charcoal and copper. Like, if you took a bottle of Jack Daniels, put 50 pennies in it and left it in a closet for 6 months…you would have this whiskey. Bizarre and terrible. — 2 years ago
