(Originally a 2.5 before opened and breathed a couple weeks) Spicy. Wheat-y. Unique. Not terrible, but not worth the price. I got this hoping for an "end of the week and relax" type of bottle, but its definitely not that. Ive read it was only aged 15 months. That might explain the disappointment.

This is terrible. No way to sugar coat it. I suppose that's what you can expect from a 100% wheat whiskey aged for only 15 months. I could accept it at 25 bucks, not 50.
Nose - oak spice, vanilla, and some juniper notes Taste - vanilla, caramel, oak and some acid tang Finish - spicy and lingering, slightly hot
I went to their bar in Phoenixville and tried all of their whiskey. This one was my favorite. I am not sure I would buy a bottle though.
Smooth and sweet. tastes of vanilla bread. Notes of grape/cherry from the port barrel cask.
Good Unique Slight sweetness Great smooth finish
