Merica Small Batch Bourbon

On the one hand, I cant see how it is right to be a profiteer from capitalizing on the recent well-deserved flood of nationalism. While It’s great to make revenue from your work, and lots of it, You just need some humility to recognize you are part of something bigger, and you wouldn’t have this revenue without others taking actual risks. On the other hand, it would be an embarrassment to fail because you foolishly starved yourself of resources. That would be an insult to the memory of those who sacrificed everything. There is no embarrassment to being paid well for your work. It is an ethical mandate to reward those who toil for your benefit. That being said I know nothing about the makers, bottlers, labelers, founders, or distillers of this obviously young whiskey so I cant and wont pass judgement on the people capitalizing on patriotism. If Belgian\Brazilian owned Inbev can slap "America" on the cans of their product for a buck then hey so can these mystery dudes. At least the mystery dudes know how its properly pronounced. Its not bad, its just young and inexpensive like the best prostitutes. At least with this you can actually find it to purchase. And that, folks, is how to move from highbrow self-righteous elitism into the slimey pit of morally depraved behavioral filth. So basically, this review tells the story of "Merica much better than this whiskey ever could.

I will start off by saying I love what this company stands for but I’m not so sure about this one. The nose is probably what I enjoyed most but it tasted extremely young! Not bad but definitely young! It’s drinkable but should be priced at around $20 in my opinion. Probably won’t reach for another bottle when I finish this one.

Aroma is basically a fruity new make profile with a touch of wood and spice; Palate is basically the same; Finish follows suit. It smells and tastes exactly like you’d imagine a 6-month-old bourbon from MGP would taste and smell like.

Very oaky and little grassy to start with a smoother finish. Something missing from this though and it feels like if it was aged longer that it could be a very good bourbon. At this point I wouldn't recommend.

It’s not that bad. About on par with ancient age. It’s clearly sourced and the lack of transparency hiding behind patriotism is insulting but the juice, while forgettable, isn’t bad.

Not a very good sipper, strong, needs to be aged longer....a good mixer though I’ll give it another shot for America !!!!
