Tastes

I don’t get a whole lot on the nose except for slight hints of banana. Beginning starts off with a nice, sweet vanilla and honey ending with a long white pepper finish.

I can’t say that it’s a horrible bourbon, but there seems to be a chain-link fence flavor chased with vanilla. The sweetness of the vanilla (even though I’m not a huge fan of extra sweet bourbons) saves this to make it palatable.

I have mixed emotions about this. If you enjoy drinking pancake syrup straight from the bottle, this might be for you. If you are trying to learn to enjoy bourbon, this may be a good way to start. It does not have a bad taste, just way too sweet for what I think a typical bourbon should taste like. As a matter of fact, you would have to extract some sugar from this to make an old fashioned. This will be a mixer for me. Might be good in an ice cream shake.

Bananas and smoke were the first smells that hit me. A relatively mild taste with a spicier finish makes this a pretty good bourbon.

Starts off sweet, then comes with a slight spice. Finishes with a strong caramel.
