Tastes

I tried two of these, Bourbon Life and Liquor World. Both were excellent, but quite different. Bourbon Life was oakier with caramel and vanilla flavors. It had a strong grain flavor too, but not offensive and turned fruity on the finish after it had time to breathe a bit. The Liquor World had more fruit across the nose and palate and tasted older and more well rounded; what I think of in a typical bourbon. Very impressed!

Great whiskey. My bottle is from Superfine Wine in Canton MI. Just over 5 years old. Really nice, well balanced, but drinks it’s high proof. If you’re okay with a hot whiskey, this is great. For me, maybe 1/10 times it comes out too hot until my palate adapts

Very light nose, pleasant, but not as potent as I’d like. I get a bit of the malt on the nose and it’s just not my favorite aroma. Palate is very nice, it doesn’t taste as high malt as the other Chattanooga expressions I’ve had. This tastes much more like a traditional bourbon to me. Bright and fresh. Finish is medium long, flashes of caramel and stone fruit pop.

The nose on this is a bit odd to me initally, after it sat a bit, I warmed up to it.The high malt comes through across the palate feel, very reminiscent of scotch. I get loads of chocolate, & a good level of rye spice. Finish is ultra short.

Really nice. Tasted with a few other heavy hitters and this was the least favorite. It’s got a great wheat flavor late in the palate

Fabulous overall. I think the oak is a little heavy, the tannins seem to shorten the length of the palate a bit, but great whiskey.

Not much nose or finish. Palate is subtle. Very easy drinker. Nothing offensive, but nothing that makes me want to come back either.

A good wheated bourbon. The second Old Fitz I’ve had, I had this next to Maker’s 46 cask strength and found that more flavorful and enjoyable. This pour reminds me of the other Old Fitzgerald pours I’ve had. Nothing fancy, nothing jumps out as dominate flavors, just a well balanced, easy drinking whiskey.

Just a well executed wheated bourbon, nothing that blows my mind. Well balanced and good flavors. I’ve had it twice now and had the same impression both times. most recently side by side with OWA. It was pretty similar to that, but a bit more earthy on the nose and palate. Good drinker, beautiful packaging.

123.3 proof local pick. Ethanol on the nose, very faint hint of caramel. Palate is the same, not a lot going on. Soapy. Slight caramel. Finish is the same. Not much happening. Residual soap and a little caramel. This was a sample from a friend in a sample bottle, possible the soap flavor came from that, but I received other samples and no others had the soapy taste.
