Whiskey Tangent Whiskey Tangent

This was a complete surprise when it came out to very little fanfare back in February. We saw it on the Benash liquor store shelf and literally said "What the hell is that?! A new single malt?! From Bulleit?!" So, we bought it, and we were so exicted to try it, that we immediately opened it like kids on Christmas, and we really enjoyed it. But we were busy with the Madness Tournament, and deciced to put it away in the vault, vowing to do a QuickTaste of it at a later time. Well, now is finally that later time. So, what's the story behind this thing? And do we still feel the same way about it? Just click play to find out!
