Review:

A bit on the pricey side at $100 a bottle in my area but a very interesting bourbon. The finishing process, which uses Pedro Ximenes, Oloroso Sherry and Cognac casks adds a wonderful fruitiness to this whiskey without making it too sweet. The 100 proof adds enough body to make it interesting with out feeling hot or overbearing. Cheers!

My Rating: Sip it. An interesting but spendy pour, it is worth checking out.

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.

Cheers!

Rating scale:

-Spit: Don’t bother with this one. If a friend gives you a dram of it, are they even your friend?

-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk.

-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
