Belfour Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Texas Pecan Wood

Pretty smooth. Not too harsh. Better when an ice cube is dissolved. Will drink the bottle but probably wouldn’t buy again

Nose: stronger than expected but one dimensional with young whiskey. Pallet: It’s mellow that helps with the younger ethanol that comes through, also picked up hints of spice and a unrefined caramel. Finish: Ends with bits of sour notes, I’m not sure if that is an effect the pecan barrel finishing adds. The formula is good but just needs more time in a barrel. I read where the pecan wood has an effect of aging the whiskey faster, as that may be true it still needs to go longer. Belfour is doing it right by owning the process with putting down their own barrels so I’m expecting this brand to only get better in time (plus the bottle has a kickass gatsby era style to it).
