About This Spirit from the Maker
For this fall release, represented by the golden stallion, the high-rye content calls to mind the crisp fall air, while the use of white corn conjures visions of autumnal fields—and the spirit’s deep amber coloring recalls the red and gold leaves of the season.

How We Feel About the Spirit
Age refines a whiskey, bringing depth, balance, and a confident sense of self—and Still Austin Bottled-in-Bond 6 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to that transformation. Unlike youthful expressions that can feel raw and brash, this one leans into rich, refined flavors, offering an experience that is both smooth and complex.
The first impression carries a slight singe, with the initial warmth of alcohol present on the nose. But beyond that, layers unfold—pear, apple, leather, cinnamon, and coconut mingle with intriguing hints of sun tan lotion and coconut butter, evoking a touch of nostalgia. The surprise of banana boat sunscreen adds an unexpected familiarity, making for a truly distinctive aroma.
On the palate, the burn doesn’t dominate; instead, it steps aside to let the flavors shine. A lingering honey sweetness remains throughout, accompanied by fruits like apple and pear, weaving with cinnamon, nutmeg, and warm spices. A subtle burn on the finish reminds you of its strength, but the overall experience remains creamy, smooth, and balanced, with a touch of oily richness adding texture without overwhelming.
This bourbon is about big flavors, depth, and complexity, making it an excellent sipping whiskey but also versatile enough for elevated cocktails. At $80 a bottle, it demands appreciation—offering a long-lingering sweetness and a refined character that stands apart.
