(full disclosure… I’ve genuinely tried to review this botte mulitple times) Wow. This is absolutely dreadul. Aroma - not even sure what im smelling… I get banana runt candy mixed with texas road house peanut shells in the bucket and winter green bubble gum… the alcohol is noticeable as well… this just isnt poeasant. It’s not pleasant. Taste - like a bucket of peanut shells and winter green tooth paste was mixed with cheap ass whiskey that burns. Sprinkle in some rye notes and you have this aweful offering. Whoever at Clyde thought it was okay to bottle this, hype up the description and charge $60+ should be fired. Its an absolute embarrassment of an offering. I wouldn’t pay $25 for this and that is just my honest opinion. Poured myself a WT101 after this and my palate was dancing.

Has much more of a straw undertone to the aroma that kind of makes it hard to pick up on the subtleties of the other things hopefully we'll open up over time the flavor is a little grainy with a few other things kind of looming underneath it but hard to distinguish.
Ok, this is something a little different. Peanut bomb, minty. Nice barrel proof offering if you like those notes.
Not good at all!!
