Blade and Bow Bourbon

Honey colored, light bodied, with a creamy mouthfeel. Nose: honey and citrus sweetness. Mild caramel, cinnamon, and oak. Cherry sweetness. A touch of astringency, but not off putting. Palate: butterscotch, caramel, and citrus arrive first. Some cinnamon and oak join in the middle with a bit of honey. Finish is semi-dry, mild, and smooth leaving notes oats, honey, and oak behind. 3.6/5 or 4/5 on here. Tasty but not mind blowing.

Color: Honey Nose: Bright citrus, cinnamon, and cherry. Palate: Light bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Butterscotch, caramel and citrus with cinnamon, oak and honey joining in the middle. Finish is smooth and dry with lingering oaks and honey.

The nose is interesting, with vanilla, butterscotch, oak and some burnt sugar. The palate continues with the oak and vanilla, but there is more honey and a little cinnamon. The finish is a bit hot for the proof and fairly short with some black pepper, cinnamon and butterscotch. Overall, it is a solid pour, nothing spectacular and almost underwhelming. The flavors play nicely together, but it is not a bold bourbon by any stretch. Not a great value as there are many better bourbons at the same price.
