Tastes

Butterscotch, maple syrup, honey, and, after it sits in the glass a bit, grapefruit? Not a ton of complexity. Good though!

Boiled peanuts on the nose; peanuts, caramel, banana bread and light oak on the tongue

Honeyed ethanol nose. Honey, Apple, almonds, and a hint of leather on the tongue. Very little heat.

My favorite readily-available bourbon, hands-down. Sweet but strange on the nose, like a caramel-dipped magic marker. Palette is salted caramel, vanilla, sweet corn, tobacco... bourbon, pretty much. It's just a little rough, but that gives it character. Great in cocktails. Can't believe this stuff is one of the cheapest around. Nice cork cap too!

Hot and peppery, with a somewhat bittersweet boiled peanut and wood thing happening. I'm a big fan of 101, but the rare breed is comparatively a little flat, despite the barrel proof.
