Tastes

Kentucky Owl! I was surprised by how different of a profile this bottle had. I first noticed while the mouthfeel was very young and thin, the flavor boast with lot of butterscotch and candied toffee. The mid-palate was floral and had faint hints of lemon citrus. The finish was short and underwhelming, but I did find notes of baking spcies.

I was personally expecting a bit more from this bottle. Although, I will say the quenessential bourbon notes are widely pronounced throughout the sipping experience. Notes of corn, caramel, sweet vanilla, and oak char are fully represented. Truly a classic and balanced bourbon.

Once again Tennessee whisky shines. *Some people love Dickel and others not so much* The mouthfeel allows for flavors to truly stick to the palate. Im getting loads of brown sugar and sweet granola up front. The mid-palate has hints of leather and rich tobacco which I appreciate! On the finish im getting a lot of oak char, deep tannins, and that charcoal-Lincoln County process is fully represented. On of my favorite Tennessee offerings.

Crazy enough but Tennessee whiskey just hits different! The leather! The charcoal! The sweet vanilla! A bit wildflower honey! Just a lovely easy sipper!

Ill save you the long exstensive explanation! Hands down this is my favorite scotch. It balances every flavor perfectly from the mouthfeel, to the peat, and finally that sweet sea breeze finish.

The tatsing experience is complex and simple all together. It reminds me of that fruit cake your forced to try during the holiday season.

Theres something about the Weller reserve that is super refreshing. I really like the notable oak presence. There’s lots of vanilla and caramel, but im also getting some good herbal notes and baking spices! Super clean and truly a really good sipper!

The high proof offering reminds me a lot of the lower proof offering. The only main difference is that the oak finish lingers just a bit longer. Although the proof is a bit higher… I don’t get that good bourbon burn I’m looking for!

For this Breckenridge offering the stout notes are there and the proof is just right. I’m getting a lot of milk/lactose sugars on the entire palate. Notes of rich chocolate, toffee, and burnt brown sugar. The oak undertones are nice, and there’s a chocolate ice-cream finish that lingers. *Be patient… Sip three/four does it!* As the bourbon opens up the stout finish comes more to life! Very good pour!

The Breckenridge whiskey is a good entry dram. Very sweet overall. Some of its richness is lost in the youthful undertones. This would be a great whiskey to share with friends and introduce others to the joys of bourbon. Quintessential bourbon flavors: Sweet corn, vanilla, some caramel and a bit of youthful burn to round out the flavors.
