Nice sipper. Not much of a “Kentucky Hug” but a very pleasant finish without much heat. A little sweet but not at all cloying. Though I’ve never had King of Kentucky, I understand the description.

Very full bodied. Medium long spicy finish. Good sipper with sweetness along with the spiciness. Fairly well balanced.

Pretty easy sipper. Medium finish. This is a well put together drink.

Light, fruity and floral with a long spicy finish. I think the long, spicy finish is due to the Mizanara barrel finish. I think this a good summer sipper since the tasting profile isnon the lighter side.

Hot on the palate. I was hoping this was going to be a cheaper version of their Distiller’s Release/Reserve but sadly “no”. It was just a hot version of the standard Woodford Reserve, which is fine. What I was hoping for was a more intense flavor profile of the usual 90.4 proof of Woodford Reserve. The extra ethanol overwhelmed the subtle, restrained profile of 90.4 Woodford Reserve.

Decent sipper, standard high rye bourbon profile. Decent but not great. There are other low-proof sippers (43% ABV) and low age sippers that are better. For the price (assuming MSRP) you could Eagle Rare 10 for about the same price with an age statement of 10 years. Eagle Rare 10 is a much better sip for the same price.

Pretty standard bourbon tasting profile. Not bad but not great either. Seven bourbons were blended together to create this bourbon but there is no age statement, not surprised since they blended seven different bourbons. Personally though, there are several BIBs that you could easily pick up in the forty to fifty dollar price range that are just as good if not better than this blend. I’m all for bourbon blends, but I don’t think much there was much thought put into the Corn Trooper blend beyond “Let’s blend seven bourbons together and market it as seven bourbon blend”.

It is very sippable with lots of fruit and a pleasant finish. That being said this tasting profile is not for me. I enjoy whiskeys that have fruity tasing notes (e.g. Compass Box Hedonism) but I find St. George Baller to have an unappealing sweetness for my pallete.

Very nice rye that I thought was an excellent sipper. Definitely drank below it’s proof. Appropriately priced.

Nice sipper. Probably a bit pricey for the sip but it’s not outrageous. Compares very favorably to the 10 year Sagamore Rye. More spicy than fruity but there are fruit notes, dried cherries.
