Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve Bourbon

Wow, sweet, spice caramel vanilla very complex with long finish. Will keep stock, good neat and on rocks

Nose: fresh leather and brown sugar. The taste is sweet honey, citrus and a hint of almonds. A long complex finish turning from spicy to sweet then peppery with a hint of cotten candy. Definitely a do-over! Bottle 68, batch 1915

The nose is super satisfying. It’s definitely got some ethanol in there, but cherry Dr. Pepper is kinda what I get, just with less sugar. Cinnamon and oak are prevalent on the palate. It is rich. It is full. Maybe some light chocolate overlaying some dark fruit as the palate develops. The finish is long and full of oak. Extremely smooth for a high-proof bourbon. Complexity is great, I’m a fan.
