Tastes

Slightly higher Rye than I prefer but overall great tasting bourbon.

Picked this up as a store pick. Not disappointed. Straw colored appearance. Hints of apple, spice, and honey on the nose. The flavor is large. Mouthful of honey, pastry, spice, almonds, and green apple. Initially dry but has a slightly sweet finish. A little burn at the end from either the spice or 46% alcohol.

Store pick- Barrel 18663. 50.1% abv. Sweet and spicy. Mellow drinker. Not real complex.

Average everyday drinker. They say it’s a pleated blend but I really don’t taste much smoke. I do get the spice aspect of this. Great scotch for the price.

Sweet, notes of vanilla, butterscotch, sherry and oak bitterness. Nice bottle.

Enjoyed it better than original Jim Beam. High spice, oak char, and vanilla.

Not great but not bad either. Don’t expect much, just a simple bourbon.

Very nice! Very fresh, floral, vanilla, and fresh baked bread aromas. Sweet honey, orange, and melon on the tongue with a slight mint. Very long aftertaste.
