Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve Bourbon

Smooth, easy to drink

Batch 20 - 56.65 ABV (113 proof) neat, no water. I really enjoyed this. I got a lot of banana and clove on the nose, this was spicy and a little hot, but not overbearing. I thought the oak was dominant on a pretty long changing finish. Nicely done, would probably seek this out again.

Strong and smooth. Batch 25. Belle Meade does not disappoint. Definitely opens up with a little ice or water. One of the better ones I've tried. Highly recommended.

A little heat, but not too much on the front, but settles well to reveal a bit of charred oak, small amount of spice, and a bit of sweetness that is more on the carmel side. Finish leaves a nice lingering of these flavors and the residual heat on the tongue. Overall, a good addition to my bourbon family.
