Ok there really is NO reason I have to be scared, except for the twist off cap, and the kinda weird Town Marshall badge. Apparently the namesake of this whiskey is one Jethro Titus Boots, known to his friends as Boots, "a Kentucky lawman, entrepreneur and connoisseur of fine whiskey." It says that Boots believed he had perfected the perfect bourbon, with all that being said, this rousing tale is ended with the statement: "in JT's honor, we have bottled what is arguably one of the best bourbons around, for your enjoyment." Well then. Let's see that Ol'JT has up his...boots? The color is a nice honey color, and smell is kinda biting actually. There is some scent that I can't really describe but it foretells a potential burn. The first taste is actually rather smooth, and mild in flavor. It end with a little burn and finishes with a rather mild aftertaste. The aftertaste is not at all bad. I am surprised to be really honest. So Boots?
The numbers: I had to check and double check the receipt. I got this bottle for $9.99 at CVS!!! ARE YOU KIDDING???
It reminds me of...Sam Chisolm, 2016. If you don't know, look it up, it's worth it.
The verdict: Worth it. Good enough to drink straight, cheap enough to mix. Me'n Boots gonna have a few reckonin's. Keep in mind though, it doesn't compare to the $100+ bottle offerings for sure, but for the dollar, you can't do much better, but you certainly can do a lot worse.
Thanks for reading!

Professional tasting notes:
Honestly...couldn't find any. I did read somewhere that this is a CVS brand bourbon...who knew?
