From MB Roland comes a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, which has been bottled up at 54.9% ABV. MB Roland is a grain to glass distillery, this this expression has been made using local white corn, alongside rye and malted barley. Enjoyably chocolatey stuff, with layers of buttery corn and toasted spices bringing complexity and richness.
Maltesers and honeycomb, with citrus curd and wild berries alongside spicy oak.
Toasted corn and buttered popcorn lead the way, with more chocolate supported by melted brown sugar and fried banana.
Dry, spicy oak and buttery caramel.

Really good stuff, pour over ice & a little splash brings out the flavour perfectly. Will definitely buy again.
Strong, high proof, complex and delicious Bourbon. Nice development and lots of delicate flavours, but overtop of a heavy spice and brown sugar bass note. Lots of fruit notes and Christmas-cake-esque flavours, almost sherry and rum notes at times. This mixes well whether you want an old fashioned or a paper plane, but in a Glencairn or a Copita neat it massively benefits from a healthy dose of water to let it mellow out and open up. There’s always room for improvement, but this is solidly good.
Strong oak finish. Very harsh on the pallet and throat. No sweetness or vanilla. Not worth the money. Its ok with a mixer but definitely not a sipper! Won't buy again
Not worth the money. Really not worth £60. At best it matches a £20 basic Bourbon like Benchmark. It's pretty darn rough on the way down, maybe a hint of plum in the taste, but certainly not £60+ Bourbon.
Sweet to start with but then a very long extremely oaky finish. Not like any Bourbon i have tried. It's the finish that puts me off. Worth a try definitely not to everyones taste. Won't get this again.
