Reviewed October 14, 2021 (edited February 15, 2022)Nose: Butterscotch followed by vanilla and light caramel. Palate: I get a cherry note right off the bat, followed by the vanilla, caramel and spice. Very mellow for the proof, definitely not thin though, good mouthfeel. Finish: A little light, the cherry, vanilla and caramel vanish quickly leaving only the spice and the first real evidence of the higher proof. Parting Thoughts: I enjoyed this bottle but it’s not one I will replace. Is it better than my staple “3’s?” Yes, but barely. I rather save the $$$ and go with something else. Not unhappy I purchased but there’s a lot of bottles out there I’d like to try vs. going back to this well. 3.25 -

Reviewed October 12, 2021 (edited January 11, 2022)I’m always on the lookout for Belle Meade’s 12 year cask strength, but it’s impossible to find. I grabbed this to give it a try. It’s not a bad bourbon, but it isn’t anything special either. It lacked a flavor profile I was looking for when spending $60 on a bottle. The heat is a tad much for me on the nose and the tongue, so that could be masking some of the more interesting notes. I’ll give this a few drops of water or ice if I have some again.59.99 USD per BottleSpec's Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods -
