Comments:
Honestly, this whiskey impressed. Still Austin Whiskey’s meticulous approach to production has started to pay off with this batch. A rounded mouthfeel, colorful nose and palate shows the professional approach undoubtedly given to blending and then bottling this expression. rnrnWith the federal recognition of Missouri bourbon last year as an official whiskey style, Still Austin Whiskey has made a case for a realized regional expression from the Lone Star state. Looking forward to seeing how this well thought out distillery progresses through this year and beyond.
