Their one good product is their Bourbon, avoid the others
We're turned off after going to their tasting. It was so small they shouldn't be doing tours, or at least schedule then so it's not so cramped.
Only good thing was they mentioned Broken Compass uses their barrels.
Thoughts:
Spiced Bourbon: A little sweet, they said that they added sugar, it's different if they distill spices but anyone can do this at home for 2-3 days
Rum: Overwhelmingly sweet on my palate, like rum with simple syrup added.
Chile: very fruity but again sweet. Ending spicy but off
Vodka: Harsh for high end 5x distilled
Bitter/Appertief: There was an overwhelming note in the middle, it is complex but after two sips both of us couldn't finish
Overall, I don't think we'll be buying their product because they don't have a high quality control, or they do but need to keep working on it (and expanding to allow it)
