JD does a great job with the “craft” whiskeys they produce. Always very unique and worth picking up. This one tastes like a barbecue potato chip and has notes of what sitting around a campfire tastes like. Super interesting. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect

Campfire smoke and alcohol nose. I was concerned about pallet being bananas on fire but it’s a subtle smoke and caramel flavor. Finish is medium. A great fall outdoor drink. Taste and smell or marshmallow roasting and a family bonfire
Pleasant hickory smoke aroma. Very smooth with a nice smoky palette and a warming feeling from deep down. Better than Old No. 7 but not worth the cost really
