Tastes

Can’t deny the banana bread, but secondary nose is apple cider vinegar and Tennessee sour mash, this is the sweetest bourbon I’ve tasted. Grandma’s butterscotch candy. A keeper. Pleasant sting on the gums. The ladies might sip this’ un.

Sweet cotton candy on the nose with a hint of natural vanilla bean. Like Barnum or Bailey just busted on a snow cone. Light nose surprises with a full body and a honey sweetness that lasts but is challenged by prominent fumes of ethanol.

Smooth, thin body, initially dry and oaky that teases with a sweetness but never develops. I appreciate the quick finish that lets the peppery rye shine without fighting the burn. Overall: forgettable, despite wondering if she might put out more on a 2nd date.

Un-ripe green banana and leathery nose, immediate full body provides anticipation, rewards with quick onset but quickly fading cane sugar, then immediately transforms into a desireable peppery bite sans the heat. Each sip gets mo betta with melting ice. Makes me want to come back to it tomorrow like your mom.

Fresh cut red apple on the nose, definite cherries, petroleum nose. Bittersweet dark chocolate, vanilla, with dry oak bite at finish. Buy some flowers for this girl. She’s a callback when it counts.

Young (8 months), bites the bullet with ethanol and damp mossy nose, lacks character, but some water brings out a very brief unrefined corn syrup sweetness that promptly disappears into unflattering heat. Seems like more age would bring out its potential. I support our veterans and bought 2 bottles, but won’t buy anymore. ‘Merica.
