I have seen this a often in my local liqueor store but I have never bought it until this weekend. I was first introduced to Blackand in Louisana with their gin offering which was very nice and the bottle is nice enough to be a decanter. On the website there is not a lot of information, and it is a blend of bourbons. On the nose this is soft with notes of vanilla, caramel, and hints of sweet corn. That is the first time I have found that in a whiskey. The body was better than I expected for a low proof whiskey with nice vanilla sweetness. The finish is much long than I would expect but that is a good thing. In cocktails like the Old Fashioned and whiskey and coke the whiskey holds up very well. Overall, this is a nice whiskey that is not easy to find in my area but I think it is worth trying. Enjoy.

A little light and lacking on the bolder notes. Still a nice local Texas sipping bourbon. I recommend using it for old fashions rather than sipping neat. Girlfriend took empty bottle and turned it into a flower vase so bonus points for that.
Oaky with a little spice and a hint of sweetness. A bit thin on mouthfeel, but an enjoyable sipper nonetheless. Pleasant.
Good flavor, smooth and silky, but not as good as the Blackland Rye.
Agree with other reviews that it’s thin snd light. Nice spice though
Just weak and not very good
