Tastes

Tried this in a flight with Old Forester Statesman and 1920. what this has in common with Brown-Forman's Woodford Reserve is that they are both oak forward which I like. This is a nice step up from the Old Forester 86 proof. It's a good overall bottle at a good price point for cocktails or evening sipping.

Opened 12/19 Barrel #5007 The nose has a great classic bourbon smell and the the finish is a solid medium long length.

Opened 11/18 Dark cherries, brown sugar with a little citrus and a nice touch of oak.

Tasted 12/17/19 I'm a little bit confused about the description saying it's MGP whiskey because what i had is definitely Willet's own distillate. Compared to the 4 year, the 6 is more refined and does not taste as the younger brother. It would be nice to see more older batches from them.

Tasted at Seven Grand 10/31/18 Woooo doggy, this is a monster of a bourbon, you can probably get buzzed just smelling it. some many complex flavors and of course it has a lot of heat. Overall fantastic.

Butterscotch like crazy on the nose with only a hint of ethanol. The nose is quite different from most scotches. The palate is relatively mild with a light burn and short finish. The best part of the pour is definitely the nose.

Tasted 12/14/19 Well the original Pendleton is not good at all and hardly tastes like a whisky. With the 12 year it’s definitely better, but that isn’t saying much. You get a nice oak smell on the nose , but it gets lost once it hits your pallet. For probably the same price you can get a bottle of Lot 40 Canadian Rye and it would be a much better pour.
