  July 29, 2017 - Bottled by the Austin, Nichols Distilling Company.
  Now 2 TNs on CT!, resp. 92 and 94.
  And Falstaff 'Bester Whiskey USA 2015' !
  What ?!
  Unbelievable, since it is very sharp, and for me undrinkable stuff.
  Maybe it was MUCH better in 2014 or earlier ?! (my bottles are most likely from 2015 or early 2016)
  Behind the sharpness you can taste some good things, but the very strong sharpness is overshadowing everything.
  I am going to finish my 3 bottles - and luckily I payed only € 25 = approx. 25 USD each for it - blending it approx. 50/50 with Drambuie, since Rare Breed has a more of Scotch than a Bourbon taste, and that was a good and drinkable mix (but less than 50% Rare Breed, since the high alcohol is nice for the blend, but with more than 50% of Rare Breed the sharpness of the Rare Breed even comes through the sweetness of Drambuie).
  The body is medium. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  April 17, 2015 - Very spicy. The rating is contingent on "proper" use: pour the dram at least 10-15 minutes before you enjoy it, don't add water, rather drink in very small sips into a mouth filled with plenty of saliva so that you can chew without burning your tongue. In fact I uploaded a video on how to drink this whisk(e)y right.
  
  Resin, freshly sawed tree, sesame, shoe polish, burnt caramel ("flan"), leather, coca cola, almost a bit beefy, spice. Sunset after a hot summer day in the south, as viewed from the open barn door.
