Belfour Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Texas Pecan Wood

Hints of lightly sweet caramel and vanilla with a Light nutty finish. Lingers just a bit on back of tongue. Smooth finish.

I let it sit a bit. Nutty, light tasting bourbon. Heat to it.

Color: Light Copper Aroma: Woody, Nutty Taste: Slightly Sweet, Woody, Pecan, Heat Finish: Slight burn

I first opened this bottle a couple weeks ago and wasn’t the biggest fan. I treated this pour the same as last time by leaving it to sit for a little bit. This time I can say I am more of a fan. I am getting much more sweetness now; lots of butter, honey, brown sugar, some nuttiness and plenty of spice. So all in all, its good. Definitely above average and worth a buy if you want to try something new. Would it be my go to? No. I just think that value wise there is better for a 85 dollar price tag especially when you can get Barrel whiskies for an extra 5 bucks.

Let me start by saying I’m drinking a store pick. I saw several people claim that this store pick was a “butter pecan bomb.” I opened this and let it sit for 10-15 minutes in a glen. I really wanted to like this more than I did, especially for a 84.99 bottle. Alas, it is much more woody than I anticipated and the flavor disapates somewhat fast compared to what I typically drink (Woodford DO, Barrel Segrass, Jack SBBP). I definitely get a buttery, oily note which is pleasant, I just wish it lasted longer. Im unsure if it just needed longer in the barrels or what but overall it was “ok.” I want to give this bottle a couple weeks and come back to it. Hopefully it opens up a more but I’ll come back and drop another review whenever I come back to this.
