LUKE'S NOTES

Nose: Mint  |  Corn  |  Green Apple  |  Leather

Taste: Corn  |  Leather |  Cherry |  Orange

Finish: Thin, tannic finish with a short to medium length. One note and no depth.

Share with: People who are more interested in cool bottles then cool Bourbon.

Worth The Price: The bottle will make a cool decanter when I dump the whiskey down the drain.

Bottle, Bar or Bust: Bust. Unless you just want a cool looking bottle for your shelf. But please don’t drink it.

Overall: The website calls this “Not only one of the world’s best bourbons, Lusty Claw is one of the World’s best whiskey’s”. What it should say is “We know the stuff in the bottle is terrible so we spent all of our money on a really cool bottle.”
