Curiosity and boredom made us try this, a small sip at the BA lounge, LHR Not sure what to say here, feels like they tried to create something spicy and very expressive but we were not impressed and found it a bit too aggressive on the palate.

This is a bland whiskey. The multiple 93 ratings are dubious at best. Charcoal filtered removes the flavor. Now this is smooth and has some charred oak on the nose, there’s not much else. Better off with Knob Creek maple.

The nose is ebullient. Caramel corn, almost burnt sugar on the top of crème brulée. Dulce de leche smell and flavour. A pleasant experience. No charred wood hints, as with bourbon (this is not bourbon). On the palate, this whiskey is just as giving, so long as you take very small sips. Otherwise the mouthfeel is pure burning from alcohol. On the palate, there are richness and a certain sweetness. A very distinctive flavour that I've never had before in whiskey. Like Canadian whiskey but richer and sweeter. Overall, a pleasant experience. Overall value: 3.5 stars of 5. High good to very good (84.5-85).

Not a bad bourbon at all. A hint of caramel with some spices. Priced well but i'm fussy when it comes to whiskey so while i like it it's not my fav.

Not the smoothest bourbon, typical flavors but a grainy finish, and tastes hot.
