Tastes

I get a lot of char flavor from this bourbon. It tastes older - as far as bourbons go. This lower proof is ok for me since I think the water brings back the sweet taste that’d otherwise be lost. this would be a very heavy, burnt, earthy tasting bourbon at 100 proof. So maybe the lower proof is it’s saving grace? I like it but don’t love it. I do enjoy the long finish and the mouthful of flavor that lasts. Wouldn’t buy it again.

I really love this bourbon and many of Lux Rows offerings. This one is fantastic. Lux Row 12 yo Bourbon is superb too. I got two Old Ezra 7yo and love the rich flavor. I think the tasting notes in the review here are accurate. Heavy flavors and long finish. It tastes older that 7 yo but then again that’s when a barrel could peak I suppose. I don’t know how they do that. Their distillery tour is first class as with this bourbon.

I bought two of these bottles and don’t regret it. To me it reminds me of WT American Spirit back in 2006 or so. I think this is one of the best bourbons I’ve had in many years. It hits the spot for me. I highly recommend it. You won’t be short changed in flavor or finish. It has the same notes as 9 yo Knob but more of everything.

Sweet, oak, light char. Thin feel. Smooth with minimal kick. Finish is medium to low . I like it but prefer a longer finish. I don’t hate it either. It’s ideal as a daily pour maybe...but it so mediocre. But for twelve years old I expected more rich taste. One dimensional blah. Update: after three pours I dumped the bottle into the drain. Wasted my money.
