Not bad for a first bottling, and I appreciate the effort. It was like the original 3 year old expression of McCarthy's Pot Distilled Single Malt Whiskey from Clear Creek Distillery in Oregon (which to me taste like an immature baby version of Talisker). I am enjoying these micro distilled spirits from the artisanal Producers compared to the commodity brands. I believe that Brown Goods spirits just take more time in years for maturation to develop their real potential. I will love to see the results of 8 to 12 years of oak age for these small batch whiskey and rum efforts. I think Prichard's Tennessee Whiskey is superlative to Gentleman Jack. which has some similar traits. I am still loyal to the George Dickel Special Barrel Reserve as far as Tennessee Whisky (Dickel drops the "e" like Maker's Mark does, like the Scot's do) is concerned I believe it to be the benchmark Tennessee Spirit. The jury is out on what the end result will be for Prichard's Tennessee Rum. Only older more nuiansed expressions will tell what the end-result effort will be. A big A plus for the effort, though. Any thoughts out there? Check out Prichard's Rum at: http://www.prichardsdistillery.com/pages/rum.html
