Nose: sweet like butterscotch, buttered toast or pumpernickel bread, minty Palate: bready and not overly complex Finish: not spicy and drinks to the proof Overall: I think High West puts out a really good product. It’s available everywhere and affordable. I try to keep their lineup on the shelf.

Got this as a gift through a High West box set. This actually wasn't half bad. So easy to drink. Smooth with a slight warming heat. Not much complexity. But I enjoyed the honey on the nose that led to hints of cornbread, caramel, and subtle rye spice on the palate.
Très classique ! Un bourbon pour toutes les occasions. Très smooth mais pas complexe. Goût de butterscotch avec un peu d’épices. Assez fade et finale très courte. Un peu dispendieux pour ce que c’est. Bouteille achetée à NY en 2024-09 (voyage de football).
Honey, apple, baking spices, with a rye backbone and bourbon sweetness. Touch of lemon zest lingering in the aftertaste. Lovely, lovely bourbon. Perfect for fall. Also a tiny bit of smoke which is awesome.
Nose is roses. Caramel. Sugar. Body is cherries, vanilla, syrup. Finish is mint, cinnamon, baking spices. Bit of chocolate. Very juicy body, very enjoyable bourbon. Reminiscent of 1792, in a good way.
Smoky aroma and flavor in the taste. Smooth, with a moderate, pleasant burn on the finish. Easy sipper. Tasted at Bluebird Kitchen with Meg and JJ
