  • Keith says:

    I agree with Luke! I’m gonna drink it because I paid a lot for it, but I feel like I’m choking it down. Had a lot of poutporri/rose flavor for me. I do collect bottles, so it will be cool for that but I will never buy again.

  • Brandon says:

    I agree with all. It was gross. .

  • Bob Farrer says:

    It reminds me of lake water with salamanders swimming in it.

  • Rico says:

    At least they have a really cool bottle. I just tried some “The CLover” bourbon. I made 3 variations o 3 bourbon cocktails and they all sucked! And the bottle sucked too..

  • Jimbo says:

    How is it legal that this is 3-year-old whiskey? Straight bourbon has to be aged at least four years unless they include an age statement of 2 or 3 years on the label and I don’t see any age statement on this label?

  • Graham Eagle says:

    I don’t drink whiskey but would just love the bottle to put in bar in my man cave as my surname is eagle

  • Jim says:

    So disappointed. I wish I would read the review first. I got drawn in by the bottle. Eagle Rare and New Riff way better especially for the money.

  • Jared I says:

    Saw this cool looking dusty bottle on the shelf at a store while traveling.
    4 years aged on the bottle.
    I asked, store owner said it had been in the shelf for 6 plus years.
    It wasn’t bad at all.
    Would a newer bottle stand up is the question.
    Only problem l had with it, the cork broke.

  • Franco Massache says:

    Excellent!

  • Ryan says:

    How dare you lie about this shitty product. No bourbon connoisseur would ever buy this. You draw newbies and the less bourbon educated in with a flashy bottle and say it’s a top bourbon. Understand the entire bourbon community is laughing at you

  • Dave Creamer says:

    I just bought a bottle for my son Christmas present. Wish I had read the reviews. I’ll tell him not to be opened until I die..
