Reviews and Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Deep copper
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The corn can be felt on the nose along with some spice from the rye, the peppery kind. There's notes of vanilla, honey, and malt, as well as a hint of char.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
More rye spice reveals itself on the palate and is balanced by caramel sweetness and a hint of leather and tobacco.
Finish
The finish is smooth and ever so slightly warming.

Dan,
HUGE pine flavor for me. I’m drinking it with a big rock so that will alter the flavor, of course, but I’ve never had a whiskey with pine flavor
Amber,

Joshua,
The first time that I drank this it was neat and tastes like lake water. More specifically the lake that I grew up on in lake odessa, michigan lol. But after tasting it with a splash of water later in the day its bearable. But definatly not buying again.
Colton,
I did not enjoy this bottle at all. It had an OVERWHELMING taste of dirt, like actual dirt. Straight, watered down, cocktail: dirt. Perhaps I'm missing the nuances of such a high corn mash, but the nose, initial, and after taste, just tasted like dirt.
Some may like the earthy flavor, I did not.
Frank,
Upon opening the bottle, and smelling the contents, was hit with a scent of wet dirt after a long dry spell. The initial taste was of burnt wood. Tried some over ice, not much better. Added some soda to it, and it was drinkable.
