Couldn't get a sample, but went ahead and picked up a bottle of their bourbon. I don't recommend it. Had one sip out of it on the rocks and knew I made a mistake. I added a dash of water to see if that would open up some flavor and aroma, but no avail. I muscled down the remainder of that glass, and the remainder of the bottle will now be earmarked for consumption with Coke. Not the ideal outcome for $38.
Not familiar with that one, but I've had a few bottles where I didn't like the first drink. Let it sit a couple months on the shelf forgetting about it, and then it turned out to be pretty good. I also have bottles I didn't like, let sit and still never liked. At least it was a $40 bottle and not a $60-80 like a craft bourbon!
