The nose is not very inviting. Strong spicy wood character with a defining finish of corn on the cob. Something is not quite right with this offering, what it is I cannot tell. It’s fun to compare and contrast this to other Few bottles that don’t have to confine to bottled in bond standards. Whether they’ll distill and bottle this again is going to be interesting to me…I hope they held some barrels back and will be releasing a longer aged version, the youth of this whiskey is very apparent.
