Tastes

Last pour of the bottle. This has been very disappointing… almost like Very Old Barton, but worse. Tastes too young and green

Bought at Belmont Bev on Main and 23 and cracked open with Kendall when we had the Ryan family over for a cookout. This is awesome! Beautiful caramel flavor that is not overpowered by the ethanol heat! Really light and smooth

Dad bought this for me at the store across the street from the hotel at mom’s 60th birthday celebration in Chicago. Much worse than I remember haha. Right on the border between sippable and needs a mixer.

Bought at Meijer on Bremen Hwy and instantly regretted it when we tried it. Very boring and uneventful

Finally had at Bdubs with Tyelor and Nathan (they were out of it several trips here before!) A little disappointed- pretty light, airy, and watery. A little hint of smoky, syrupy caramel with decent rye spice. 3.0

Brought home from Bachelor party - Billy had bought a whole 1.75 L. First tasted at home. Color is VERY light. Smell is a lot of ethyl acetate and a hint of banana. Taste is actually pretty pleasant… smooth and easy to sip. Good caramels, vanillas, spice, a flowery flavor (rose?) and a subtle banana note.

Fantastic! Sean bought me a 50mL bottle on my bachelor party. Having this right after having Fusion Series #6… more rye spice, but this finishes so smoothly. Baked brown sugar and almond honey. 54% 3-year-old Bardstown Bourbon Company bourbon 75% corn 21% rye 4% malted barley 10% 3-year-old Bardstown Bourbon company bourbon 60% corn 40%rye 6% 3-year-old Bardstown Bourbon Company bourbon 60% corn 26% rye 10% wheat 4% malted barley 20% 12-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon 78% corn 10% rye 12% malted barley 10% 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon 75% corn 13% rye

Had this after not having it for a long time (in Chicago at the Congress Hotel when McK, Justin, and Brittany Kurk surprised me for my 31st birthday!). Was given to me blind Very sweet and a lot of nutty flavor with just a hint of rye spice. Better than I remember

Had at Timothy O’Tooles in Chicago on the way to McKinley’s surprise birthday dinner for me at Harey Carey’s 7th Inning Stretch. Very smooth and bready - definitely wheated.
