overall

This unique tasting Kentucky crafted bourbon embodies everything I like about craft distilling, with an interesting background and unique flavor profile. It’s born from a yeast revived from #5 fermenter at the abandoned Old Crow Distillery site, now home of Glenns Creek Distilling. The bourbon itself tastes more like it originates from Texas than Kentucky, with a thick, oily mouthfeel and rich, bold flavor profile. For anyone seeking something both authentic and different, this fits the bill.

The sample used for this review was provided to us at no cost courtesy its respective company. We thank them for allowing us to review it with no strings attached.
