Nose
Got a great nose on it, not too sweet with a nice spice and a rye punch to it. There's a pretty good alcohol content on the nose but it's not singe-worthy.
Palate
Great texture, really nice and soft. Not a super sweet whiskey but has a nice fruit note with bright berries and raspberry, along with some toast and buttered toast notes with a little caramel drizzle.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A surprising and well-crafted five-year-old bourbon from James E. Pepper's own distillate that represents excellent value at under $60 and has garnered significant industry acclaim.
