I also tasted this at the distillery in St. Augustine. Just like their regular bourbin, I was very disappointed. There is no way this bottle is worth the $200 asking price. I was maybe ready to pay $70 or $80, but this needs to spend alot more time in the barrel to be worth what they want. There was no body, no depth of flavor, and finished very harsh. This distillery is a definite no until they learn more.

This is a really good bourbon. The distillery is fairly new to the game but man, what a great turnout on this Saint. A limited run in the fall of 2019 at 400 bottles, it's worth the buy. Can't wait for the next run. Great balance of sweet and spice. Smoother than expected.

Very well done. Aged in barrels that made their Old Fashioned Mix this is one of the finest bourbons I’ve ever had. Only 300 bottles made. I’m going to be sad when this is gone.

Dark amber with amazing mouth feel. Every tastebud fires with each sip and the finish lasts minutes. Never had anything like it. Bought bottle 300/300 of the 2020 fall batch.

Little bland, some old fashioned sweetness but it counters the bourbon. Price is excessive
