13th Colony Southern Bourbon

A nice smooth whiskey with cinnamon and sugar on the back end. Really impressed for a craft whiskey

Smell of Butterscotch, Caramel, and Coffee Strudel. Very smooth and easy to sip. Havent seen too many Georgia bourbons, plus i LOVED the bottle!!!

Taste is neat in a glencairn, recently opened, long sit. Nose - sweet, vanilla, caramel, corn, little bit of tobacco, toffee, and maple, get almost like a candied pecan or peanuts, cherry, has an ever so slight earthiness to it but sweetness flavors by far stand out more than anything. Palate - to me feels thin, but a significant amount of flavor that coats the mouth better than you would think for a 95 proof. Nose and palate match vanilla, caramel, sweet corn, slight nuttiness, cherry, cinnamon. Some spice but not overpowering by any stretch and that sweetness holds throughout. Finish - I thought this finish for a 95 proof was pretty impressive, medium if not long, leather, little bit of oak, sweetness still holds on with brown sugar, and a hint of the candied nuts. Based upon the batch I have would have to respectfully disagree with the ratings I’ve seen under 4. This has a very limited distribution but if I found this at $35ish a bottle id probably buy a case. At $45 I’d still probably buy 3 bottles at a time. This is incredibly smooth and a very easy drinker, like sneaky smooth, and almost no signs of youth. It has a ton of flavor for a 4-6yr small batch, a better nose then some bourbons ive had at 8-12yrs. Best way i could describe it is like Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, and Wild Turkey had a love child. It has flavors that I would typically find in each of those brands. Is it a power house unicorn, no, but at $35-$45 thats not what I expect it to be. As a cheap everyday drinker with great flavor 100% yes. Ideally would like to see it at $35, think it competes better in that price range, but this is also a “craft” distiller with limited distribution so if you have to pay more online to get then understandable. 13th Colony keeps putting out stuff like this they’re gonna get real popular real quick.
