I love the folks at this distillery and I think this bourbon is super smart and fun. It's a straight bourbon so it obviously sits the two required years in a new barrel but then they rest it in used rum casks and that's really what stands out in this bourbon. Smoothe rum caramel with the corn after taste.
Wheaty and sightly sweet on the nose. Very warm, with a hint of vanilla and sightly floral. Creates a nice fire in the mouth which dissipates only slightly on the way down to the belly. Overall a nice, complex flavor. Aftertaste is warm and sightly bitter.
Batch No.3: Has a floral and almost sherry-like on nose. Smooth tastes of dark cherry, butterscotch, rich taste with a medium finish. Gifted to me (thanks Mike F!) but will buy next time I see it. Hopefully future batches are as consistent! Well done.
Looks and smells like a young whiskey but tastes much more mature. Very smooth tastes come and go slowly. A very impressive bourbon out of DC!! I’m drinking batch 3 and I’m a fan. I look forward to trying more as their stocks age.
The one I had was finished in spiced rum barrels so I'm not sure if I'm reviewing the same one. Sweetness and warmth followed by molasses.
Wheat and sweet on the nose. Complex and intriguing tasting notes of vanilla, hints of herbal, and a slightly spicy aftertaste
