  • Publication: The Whiskey Wash
  • Excerpt: While it’s not an exceptionally complex bourbon, for a daily drinker under $15, this would be great as a mixer or on ice.

  • Publication: Whisky Advocate
  • Excerpt: Although not complex nor with a strong finish, it’s perfectly balanced by intense notes. Perfect for cocktails or table whiskey.

  • Publication: Distiller
  • Excerpt: The palate is juicy and miraculously balances a circus of extreme flavors, clarified butter initially, roasted peanuts, char marks, vanilla, and wood tannins on the finish. This is one worth sipping all evening.

  • Publication: Drinkhacker
  • Excerpt: While it may be designed for dumping into punch bowls or mixing liberally with Coke, it actually drinks just fine on its own. No shame there, folks.

  • Excerpt: A surprising bottle that may just be a bottom shelf gem. Great complexity for what I perceive as a fairly young bottling, with some great flavor along for the ride as well.

House Review
  • Intro:

    Produced by an Undisclosed distiller for Lux Row, this bourbon is a release under their brand umbrella, sporting no age statement and a 45% ABV bottling strength.

  • Nose:

    Fresh and fruit forward, with some vanilla to keep things interesting. Young apple, some pear.

  • Taste:

    Sweet cream, fresh honey. A bit of oak and pepper. Surprising oak character here as well. Cocoa and some caramel. Surprising complexity.

  • Finish:

    A bit young on the finish, but showing far more complexity than I’d have expected. Plenty of oak, caramel, spice and light pepper.

  • Overall:

    A surprising bottle that may just be a bottom shelf gem. Great complexity for what I perceive as a fairly young bottling, with some great flavor along for the ride as well.

  • Score:

    5
