It’s a solid MGP whiskey. Was hoping for a SLO made product. Didn’t say anything about where it’s made on the Flaviar website that I bought it from. If I had known that it was not their original product I would have passed on the bottle.

Nose: an absolute butterscotch bomb with the smoke from the explosion Taste: guess what it’s butterscotch. Melts into caramel with a hint of a bitter grass on the end Watch full review here: https://youtu.be/gvndw0oabjg
I don't usually venture this high in proof but this is a solid cask bourbon and it has a nice flavor and drinkability compared to some other high proof ones I've tried.
Grain nose. Super strong honey flavor, the barley/wheat flavor, and then barrel burn. Love the strength vs the honey, it's rich and fiery. Lovely.
Caramel nose Vanilla burnt caramel palate Minty finish Glencairn
Pretty good, but a little hot for my taste
