Comments: 

Wonderfully full-flavoured and sweet bourbon. There is enough complexity here to rival some malts, and all at an impressively young 4 years. This whisky is bottled by the people who make Stetson hats (yes, a fashion house), and there's no information on where it comes from. Can't say I like the trend. Nevertheless it's excellent bourbon, and if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say Four Roses.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
