Tastes

Neat tasting: Nose: lots of oak, caramel popcorn Taste: Dry fruit (Apricot?) not as sweet as the smell would make you believe. Amazingly smooth for the proof. The finish is where the bourbon wins me over. The finish is sweet and okay that just sits there.

Neat tasting. Nose: Oak and alcohol and slight fruit Taste: Smooth drinking bourbon. Cocoa and dried fruit and oak. With any of the Knob Creek line enjoyable to drink.

Neat: Nose: oak and cherry Taste: Big spicy oak with some cherry undertones. Smooth for the 120 proof with the heat of the proof hitting you on the finish. Overall a good showing.

Rittenhouse is a well crafted rye for under $30. Nice rye flavor and very smooth for the price.

I opened my bottle several weeks ago and I didn’t enjoy the first testing. I have gone back a couple of times since and I haven’t even been able to finish the glass. This is the worst Bookers I’ve ever had and it may be the worst bourbon I’ve ever had since it now cost $90. It’s hard to put a finger on what I’m tasting but smoked tobacco to aged plastic.

I’m not a fan of this batch. Taste of sweet Tobacco/cigar. It becomes slightly more bearable with some ice.

Wow Just A good overall bourbon. Smoky, vanilla and some fruit.
