GSN’s Remarks: Mild in physique and gentle in taste, with a touch of honey. This nearly tastes like a ready-made cocktail in some methods. Pour just a few ounces in an ice crammed mixing glass, toss in a touch of bitters, pressure right into a cocktail glass and also you’re good to go. The bourbon itself is younger, however has sufficient character that it’s going to please a novice whiskey fanatic. Definitely the spire itself makes for a speaking level, as some others within the GSN places of work requested what was within the bottle. It’s an fascinating idea which is able to subtly change the flavour of the spirit the longer it rests. GSN Score: B
