This is a bourbon style whisky, they even use first use barrels from Kentucky. Given it is local (to me) and reasonably priced, I’m deeply impressed.

Thin sample

The 3.74 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
