Awesome nose! Cinnamon, oak, vanilla and caramel. Palate is more of these note but it’s very thin and one dimensional. Finish is short and leaves me wanting more. This is a good easy drinking bourbon. There’s not much not to like, but there is no wow factor and no complexity. This bourbon would benefit greatly from a higher proof.

Bardstown Bourbon Co. Château de Laubade Armagnac Finish
Bourbon — Indiana (bottled in Kentucky), USA
Tasted July 20, 2020This is one complex, deep and awesome pour. Think of sweet dark purple grapes cooked in caramel sauce. The palate is thick and coating and the finish is long. I could sip on this all day. The price is pretty decent too. One of the best of 2020. -
Four Roses 125th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon (2013)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Tasted April 27, 2019Great pour. Very smooth, very tasty and nice finish. -
This pour is complicated to say the least. Nose: Terrible. Varnish and oak. It reminds of that terrible Tim Smith Wood-fired moonshit, er shine. Palate: Better than the nose. Lots of wood and vanilla. Finish: Soft and lingering with cinnamon and vanilla. Conclusion: The finish is where this shines. I really hope this oxides nicely like the OF 1910. Otherwise, I totally wasted $80. Fuck!!
