291 Barrel Proof Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Distilled in my local area, so let’s give it a go: Nose: baking spices, wood, fruit hard candies Palate: fresh raspberries, cinnamon, some brown sugar, wood Finish: mild pepper, citrus rind, faint dark sweets (caramel?), woody astringency Good, but not really good or great. Not sure worth the price. Better at 45-50 a bottle than the 75-100 you see. I will say this, it is ASTONISHINGLY smooth for its 126 proof.

This is my favorite bourbon so far in life. It has a great flavor and with its barrel proof strength a quality burn to let you know its there.

Sorry but aspen is not a wood to age whiskey with. Unless it’s an emergency I guess. You can put all kind of gold medal stickers on it… and I fell for it. But. Aspen is an astringent tannic soft wood and doesn’t add to the flavor, it detracts. The base whiskey is delicious.

This one is definitely a fighter. It’s aroma is a lot of maple syrup, French toast, almost light cinnamon luring you in to a very sexy smell... then it goes down. Mahogany, cedar, and sweet wood and grain notes... that slowly and seductively turns into.... HEAT. Very hot on the finish and aftertaste, and it lingers. The aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and finish are all superb in my opinion, it just puts a branding iron on your tongue while it’s kissing and loving you.

I have no idea what the flavors are, but it tastes like an old house smells.

Spiced and nice. Worth tasting atleast once. It taste and feels like $99 bottle.
