Comments:
This bourbon was like a firework on the palate – it delivers a kind of special punch that some traditional bourbons might lack. I was happy to have the opportunity to taste a bourbon from a different area, and was even more pleased that Widow Jane seems to take some risks–risks that have paid off with a truly delectable product.
