Tastes

Sweet vanilla on the nose with a hint of oak. The palate begins with a short hit of sweet vanilla followed by a rye spice that again fades to a frosting type sweetness. The finish is medium with a decent hug. As the finish fades more spice comes through on the palate.

Cherry, clove, and leather on the nose. A hit up front of sweet tea followed by an clove and cinnamon. Follows with a long finish that leaves brings out a cherry sweetness again. Excellent pour.

Orange zest, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla on the nose. It’s spice heavy up front that fades to a sweetness with hints of leather. It’s has a medium finish that has more spice and bitterness. A well balanced pour.

Disclaimer.....I’m a Texan and this is our local stuff. I’ve tried a bunch of local bourbon and have not liked much of it. Just trying to be transparent but I’m definitely rooting for Texas bourbon to break out. Ok so here goes. TLDR....it’s weird but I like it. White sugar, orange, oak, and leather on the nose with heavy alcohol up front. It’s unique and interesting but smells young. It hits sweet up from on the palate but only like sugar not vanilla as in most bourbons. The oak and leather show up in the finish which is surprisingly long. This is definitely a new territory of bourbon but I like it. It somehow reminds me of scotch. There’s much to be improved on but I like where it’s going. At $28 I’ll keep buying this stuff.

Sweet red fruit, spice and vanilla on the nose. An up front sweet heat punch with more vanilla and spice that reminds me or reshoots that fade out to a sweet cinnamon candy. A nice long finish that brings back a second round of more sweet spice. A very well balanced pour.

Orange, vanilla, and clove on the nose. Heavy vanilla, cinnamon, orange and a hint of oak and leather on the palate. Plenty of spice from the proof that has a long strong finish. An excellent pour

Heavy banana and caramel on the nose. The palate follow suit with a good amount of heat up front that fades into oak and spice in the finish.

Heavy caramel and oak on the nose with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Caramel, vanilla and spice up front on the palate that drops off quickly into a much sweeter medium finish. A very classic bourbon.

A strong musk mixed with semi sweet red fruit on the nose. The palate tastes like the nose. Musk, nuts, red fruit, and oak. Not much sweetness. A medium finish that intensifies the musk and oak profile. Not terrible but not that great either. Not necessarily my cup of tea (whiskey)

Strong spice and nuttiness on the nose. Spiced apple up front on the palate filled by a strong finish that sweetens as it fades.
