Tastes

Nose: Musty oak, floral, chocolate, and a bright fruit note. Palate: Caramel, cherry, black peper, and leather. Finish is long with a fight between vanilla and bakikg spice. Super sweet, but balanced by the learher and spice notes. Overall: I am a big fan of this whiskey. Like my last review, I am incredibly impressed since this age statement is minimum of 2 years. However, I believe the Texas heat provides a quicker aging process and the team down at Still Austin have done an excellent job with grain selection. Would highly reccomend.

Nose: butterscotch, oak, caramel. Palate: mild barrel tannins, vanilla, caramel. Overall: the nose was much more impressive than the palate, and was a litttle underwhelmed with the taste. Still a good whiskey, but would not purchase again.

Nose: Butterscotch and bright caramel dominate the nose. Palate: Oak, chocolate, leather are the main flavors i get with flashes of brown susar and caramel. Overall: I love the nose on this whiskey. The taste is great as well, but different than the nose by a good amount. Would drink again and great price overall.

Nose: Vanilla bean, caramel, and baking spice. Palate: grain, cinnamon, caramel, pepper, oak, and brown sugar. Overall: Solid bourbon and would buy again.

Nose: Toffee, peanut butter, caramel, and oak. Palate: vanilla and butter, light barrel notes, and a long lasting pepper finish. Overall: pretty good, but I was dissapointed that the notes from the nose did not transfer over to the palate as I hoped.

Nose: The nose reminds me of cinnamon toast my mom would make me as a kid. Fresh cinnamon, maple syrup, and buttery vanilla. The finishing note is fresh apple, almost like apple cider. Palate: vanilla, brown sugar, apple, and cinnamon. Overall: To preface; I have never had an Amburana finsihed bourbon. This is one of the best things i have ever had. I’ve never had something such clear characteristics for tasting notes. This is dessert in a glass and I will buy this bottle each time I see it. Drinks very well for 110 proof.

Nose: Cherry and caramel, vanilla, followed by pepper. Palate: Brown sugar, toffee, vanilla right up front. Followed by a long and spicy finish, rounding out with classic caramel notes. Overall: Excellent flavor. The overall profile sticks to classic, but is well balanced. The high rye percentage adds a good but of spice well needed. I am interested to see how this Texas aged whiskey compares to other Indiana distilled products using this mashbill.

Nose: Chocolate and caramel uo front. After a sip, the oak shines through in the nose. Palate: Brown sugar and oak, followed by leather and a long vanilla finish. Barrel tannins are not over powering. Overall: Classic bourbon. Oak and sweetness with a nice punch. Very well balanced.

Nose: mustiness on the nose initially, barrel tanins, floral, small hints of caramel. Palate: Leather and pepper up front. Not too sweet on the palate, but finishes with a little bit of vanilla. Overall: not my favorite, but has potential. I think this is lacking the sweetness that I typiclaly enjoy. I reccomend watching the Whisky Vault review of this on YouTube while tasting.
