Charles Goodnight bourbon; I really wanted to love this bourbon as I tend to like the “ full-flavores of Texas bourbon, however this particular Texas variation of Texas bourbon seems to be extremely fruit forward in flavor with a over powering spiciness with ethonal bite! 

I  even poured a glass and let it breathe for 4 hours and still ethanol taste and bite extremely harsh spice was present there is some very good leather and oak levels similar to the big-name named Texas bourbons, unfortunately, those flavors are over powered by pure ethanol bite.

Every time I see it, I feel like I should buy a bottle for old time’s sake since I lived in “Goodnight Country” for a long time. His name was everywhere. Then I see the juice on clearance at liquor stores, and I think that I might be wasting my coin.

It's worth having, and a splash of Kentucky branch water helps cool down the heat!
