Old Ripy Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Bond & Lillard Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Batch #2)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 8, 2020 (edited July 4, 2021)Nose- The nose is full of lots of floral vanilla and a hint of citrus. Body- Very smooth and sweet up front with the vanilla sugar continuing, giving way to classic wild turkey earthiness including baking spices, pecans and lots of leather. There is a rich earthiness to this whiskey reminiscent of Blanton’s. Finish- The leather now gives way to tongue prickling pepper spices. This finish shifts gears hard when compared to the body. There is more of a zing than a sizzle that I really like. The pecan continues but becomes a bit more like the earthy bitter pecan pith that leaves your tongue a bit numb. This is an excellent, dynamic sipper. Thanks for the recommendation Milliardo. -
