Tastes

4.2/5 - Very unique. I get butter (and weirdly enough, sautéed peppers a la fajitas) followed by spice, sweet cream, bitter coffee, leather, and more spice. The flavors dance on your tongue before joining together and finishing with a wonderful cohesion that entices you want to keep sipping. Oak and peanuts come come out to play later, after the flavors have coated your tongue

A lot of oak and sweetness up front followed by spice and then green apples on the back of the tongue.

$3 @ Elk Horn Brewery in Eugene, OR

Sweeter and hotter than the 16 with less smoke and more of a vegetable-like quality. Delicious in its own right, but I prefer the 16

Nose: Caramel follow by peanuts and oak, finished with cinnamon. Taste: Boiled peanuts followed by spices, oak, must, and gentle brown sugar sweetness. Not as dry as EWSB, but not necessarily oily on the tongue either. A great value when it can be found under $30 and different enough from WT101 that both could be kept on hand. (4 stars @ $27; 3.5 stars @ $35)

This one developed beautiful flavors from approximately 3-5 drops of water. Absolutely fantastic bourbon. Sampled 2oz @ $25
