This is a blended Bourbon. It has no Japanese whiskey in it. It is made with three components. The first is the bourbon itself, matured for approximately five years, along with parcels finished in California red wine casks (for approximately one extra year) and sherry casks (for approximately two extra years). The whiskeys were blended by Suntory chief blender Shinji Fukuyo
I just bought a bottle tonight. I really like it. I taste and smell what it says on the bottle. strong cinnamon flavor for me, but not candy cinnamon, cinnamon bark. yum. The sherry and wine casks are delicious.
In America I'm 29 love whiskey you have helped me alot with whiskey....also I love your voice it so calming could put me to sleep with a bedtime story lol
Got this 30% off and i should have bought 2 or 3 more! A new favorite bourban. As a lover of the diversity in Scotch I am enthused at this bourban and especially for it's price
I would disagree that Bourbon regulations limit innovation in this specific sense. Bourbon rules define the one historic style - bourbon. Just like straight rye, straight malt, straight wheat styles are also defined. But the law does not prevent anyone from producing all sorts of whiskey. It just cannot be labeled "straight" or "bourbon", etc. if those criteria are not met. Example are various American blended whiskeys (usually bottom shelf booze, i don't recommend). A better example is Early Times Kentucky whiskey. Not bourbon. Not straight. Bourbon-mash whiskey matured in "reused cooperage". Just like rules of Cognac are not limiting experimentation, examples are Ferrand and Martel. I can't remember Ferrand's expression, but Martel's Blue Swift is not labeled as "cognac" but it's made from cognac finished in bourbon barrels. Martel understands that with a name like theirs they can easily sacrifice the word "cognac" on the bottle to attract a certain segment of the market. I like that historic concepts like bourbon and cognac are not messed with too much. There's room to geek out about different styles without sifting through confusion.
Great idea bedtime story is in whiskey you review some whiskey then you can tell a bedtime story for the children as the father's drink the whiskey and contemplate LOL but they got to be old Austrian bedtime stories cuz those are the grimmest lol

A worker at my local liquor store recommended Legent to me and it really is great. Very interesting to learn more about it here.
Bought this bottle to ring in the new year. Top notch. Happy New Years!
Gibraltar is a bourbon wasteland.Cost in London £40.whenever a mate flies to London i beg him to bring me some juice back,
Just got this last week.
Absolutely worth a try!

Legent has become one of my go-to whiskeys, especially at its price point.
Trying this now - really enjoy it. I get alot of nuttiness and chocolate
Review starts at 6:24. You're welcome.
It’s one of my favorites and I get it for about 35$ and it’s 47% abv
Me too, bought it at Costco for $35 , well worth the price. Excellent !!!
In Ontario this is 47% abv.
If you look closely I think the bottle they are using says 47% too... although they said 43%. :-)
Lol, how did they miss the “94 proof” on the bottle? Especially Horst, who usually reads every last word?
Look up Opus One Winery and you will see the inspiration for the two faces. Opus One is one of the most sought after bottlings.

its 47% ABV, not 43%
For your viewers in the US, an import tariff of 25% on single malt scotch goes into effect today, Oct 18. Maybe stock-up a bit? Thanks guys.
I just bought it and it's 47%, not 43%.
Hearing great things about this bottle!
It looks like the bottle you have there is 47% ABV / 94 proof not 43% ABV as you stated in the video.

I love this bottle. It drinks like scotch, but never sacrifices its bourbon character.
I was a bit disappointed in the Legent. Overall it's atypical, but in the end it's a mix of fireball and higher end Jim Beam to me.
Bourbon needs to be aged in charred new oak barrels. It doesn't need to be American oak, as long as it's a new oak barrel.
It's definitely good. Maybe more for folks that are into all manner of whisk(e)y. Maybe not as much with exclusively "bourbon enthusiasts". I'm a fan.
Ben's brain is at it again. He doesn't understand the concept of statehood yet germany is comprised of sixteen states.
Ben, you've been listening to those Rebels too much. E Pluribus Unum. It's why we invented total war.
To me this almost drank like a scotch which many times are finished in sherry casks.
IT'S 47% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
