Tastes

After a month of exposure to some air, this has greatly improved with each drink. I will not ever drink brand new again. But for $35, great buy

Second round months later. Oaky oaky, too much for me. Its a rich bourbon underneath. Balcones needs to temper the oak and this dram will be amazing.

This is great bourbon for $35. At $50 i leave in on the shelf. Its got this weird jefferson small batch dill pickle taste on the back end. Not something i will continue to seek out.

Really solid bourbon. Good price good juice. Rich deep color and flavor.

I want to hate this bottle. Aged 2 years and asking $100 a bottle, thats just stupid. All that said, it is an incredibly smooth sipper. Bravo to the distillery. I don’t think its worth $100, but as a gift, the gift receiver will not be disappointed.

Pickle juice!!!!!

This is such a ‘go-to’ biurbon. Its just a well done, well aged, delicious whiskey. Its not some crazy elusive can’t find bourbon. You can find it in any shelf and it never disappoints as a nice neat sipper at a great price.

This is a the new orleans bourbon festival bbl pick. Its not great. Brown foreman obviously saves the good stuff for their other offerings. $45 i’ll pass on a second bottle. Going to start mixing this one in old fashions and manhattans. Very disappointing.

Just drank a bbl pick from local liquor store. Its just Meh. Nothing special. Very thin, somewhat tasteless. Starts with a hint of dill pickle and then thats it. Very smooth with no bumps if thats what you are looking for, but for those looking for character its not here.

Really great bourbon. I had Decades back to back with 17 and Decades is just a more complex delicious sipper. Its one of the few bourbons i have had that starts with a big burst of chocolate. That is followed by gram crackers. Very smooth finish with no bite. Most whiskey i just taste whiskey, delicious bourbon and rye. This one is unique. Is it worth $125? Not really but it is good, and if you don’t care about price, go get it. It’s delicious and unique.
