Tastes

Found a dusty Batch 49 in an old liquor store. It’s much darker and thicker than other batches I’ve had. Thick, oily, a little fruity, with a hint of smoke on the nose. Doesn’t get much better.

Possibly my favorite batch. It’s oily, thick, vanilla and sweet... but with a little oak. Glad I found three bottles one day about two years ago.

Soft nose... vanilla is dominant. Sweet. Some oak. Enough oil to coat your lips. About what I expect from a quality $30 bottle. Good sipper. Good flavor. Not very complex and a pretty short finish. But if on a budget, this would be in my collection. Had it side by side with HH BIB and ET BIB, and went back for seconds on BS BIB.

Outstanding pour!! So much going on. Must try.

Haven’t cracked this bottle in 6 months. Wow. Powerful. Great. Flavor.

Just had this after 2019 GTS. It’s not quite there but holds its own. It’s what you would expect... spicy, hot, a little sweet, a little oily and oaky. Delicious.

Oaky, spicy, dry... complex flavor with a great bite and oily texture. Great finish. Doesn’t have the punch of some of the high proof GTS, but the flavor is outstanding. Get yourself a pour.

Had this recently. Was excited to try it being a Star Trek fan (yeah, what’s that got to do with bourbon, I get it). This was truly a bad pour. I passed the glass around to two other guys and we all agreed. Should be called Swill Trek. Beam this out of here Scotty!!

Incredible pour. Worth the price. Buy yourself a bottle
