Belle Meade Sour Mash Straight Bourbon

This is a very nice bourbon. Different enough that it is a must have for any collection. On the nose, I get the traditional caramel, vanilla, and oak but then you throw in a clove, orange, and nutmeg combination. Not overpowering, but a great nose. On the palate, this one has a great texture. It is sweet up front due to the orange, clove, and rye spices. Then comes the traditional vanilla and oak for the finish with a touch of cinnamon spice. 91/100.

Rich, oily, syrupy. Sugary sweet, honey, toffee, and a little pepper.
