Four year old bourbon mash whiskey sourced from MGP in Indiana. Bottled by Tamworth Distilling in New Hampshire. 750ml. MSRP $39.99
Appearance:

Aromas of honey-comb, vanilla, pine-bark and dandelion

Flavors of light maple-syrup, lemon peel and mild sweet paprika. Finish is minimal with barrel spice lingering only briefly until dissipating entirely.

Comments:
Dunce is an interesting package with less interesting contents. The whiskey is not by any means bad but lacks a lot of the body that is usually found in brands that fit under the American “Straight” regulations. If you’re looking for a good replacement for your usual whiskey and coke, Dunce might be a good fit.
