Nose
Sweet oat-forward aroma with funky character; reminiscent of Irish whiskey more than bourbon; sweet oak notes present.
Palate
Soft and hollow in the middle; lacks structure and weight; flat Coca-Cola character; watery feel across the palate; finishes with a light bitterness on the back end.
Finish
Brief and underdeveloped; light bitterness without complexity.
Overall Score
2.8 / 5
An experimental oat-grain bourbon that sacrifices traditional bourbon character for a softer profile, resulting in a hollow middle and disappointing palate despite an interesting nose.
