Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve Bourbon

2018, batch 9, 114.9 proof. I get candied apples on the nose. This has a unique flavor. Starts spicy but goes smooth, with a little popcorn flavor, then finishes very quickly with the burn in the back of your throat which is the only indication you get of the proof. Not sweet at all and slightly oily.

This walloped a punch! Big, bold. Let it sit, maybe a drop of water, and it opens up beautifully.

A fantastic bourbon.
