Tastes

A great sipper at an everyday price. Goes down very smooth with a big finish of cinimon and vanilla.

Very hot as you'd expect at 131.1 proof, but not harsh. Tons of smoke and cherry to the flavor. I tiny bit of ice or water puts the fire out, but doesn't nessissary open up more flavor. It's a good bourbon, but reminds me of an overly strong version of Russell's Reserve Single Barrel at 110 proof, which is both less expensive and easier to find. So while I enjoyed it very much, I probably wouldn't get it again, especially not at the aftermarket prices.

Tons of very sweet vanilla, Milk chocolate too. Very good mouth feel too. Fairly full and oily. It's a little too sweet for my tastes. I like it at first, but can't keep going on it

Spicy cinnamon, chocolate, mocha, chared marshmallow & very woody. More tart than sweet, with a dry finish. Comes on strong and a bit hot, but mellows after the first sip. The mouth feel is a bit oily and rich.

It's got a ton of oak, some spice, and a tartness to it. Very smooth like most of what Maker's puts out. I prefer it over regular Maker's, but like regular, it comes across too thin for my tastes even neat. I like it, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again as Cask Strength isn't much more and considerably better in both taste and body.

Crazy good! Carmel apple, vanilla, citrus, cherry, spice and a heavy dose of smooth oak is on the menu. Remarkably easy to drink, it handles the high proof marvelously. Mine comes from Total Wine & More Wisconsin, is at 108.4 proof, and contains Baked American Pure 2, Seared French Cuvee, Maker's 46, and Rosted French Mocha. Wonderful way to end the week!

Very rich and smooth with a great mouth feel. Peanuty, vanilla, with dark cheery. Spicy long finish. Far less smoky than the other offerings from Bulleit.

Beyond the typical bourbon flavors, which are in abundance here, there is a noticeable amount of citrus. Lots of spice on the back end as well. A bit of water or ice opens this one up nicely. It's a perfectly decent bourbon, but I don't see what all the hype is about.

Peanutbrittle, roasted peanuts, burnt salted caramel, a significant citrus finish with a ton of smooth heat. Very strong and hot and a bit harsh. Full, but not coating or oily, average mouth taste. I don't care for the finish which is bitter. It's not one of my favorites, but this is a matter of personal taste more than a criticism of the quality of the bourbon itself. My wife was less kind and described it as tasting the way a musty old basement smells.

A very full and oily bourbon with a great mouth feel. It has standard bourbon flavors consisting of caramel, vanilla, and spice. Bit of orange and chocolate too. Incredibly smooth, but, nothing outrageously unique. It would be an amazing everyday bourbon if it was more available. Well worth the $60 MSRP, and a great gift due to the cool packaging. Unfortunately the secondary market prices are getting out of hand.
