Handmade. Organic. The label of Featherbone is adorned with a couple of the more trendy buzz words in the food and drink world today. Whether you are the type of consumer who seeks out or avoids those words at all costs, the true measure of any whiskey will be the blind experience in a simple tasting glass.
Appearance: Golden honey, quick and thin legs

Finish: Quick burn with lingering tobacco notes.
Journeyman Distillery does not offer an age statement for their Featherbone Bourbon Whiskey, but it does taste young. It isn’t necessarily abrasive, but rather the overall balance is not quite dialed in as much as more seasoned bourbons might be.
The finish was rather disappointing, but not a total surprise given the rather thin feel of the bourbon. The product presentation is the star of the show with the bottle and backstory being the most compelling parts of this particular release.
Score: 79/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF JOURNEYMAN FEATHERBONE BOURBON]
