Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon

Gonna go against the pack here as I did not care for this. First of all there is banana lingering on the nose and than turns me off on bourbon. I do like bananas but not on my bourbon. Ethanol leads on the nose, there's a touch of caramel and baking spices but of course banana. The palate is hot and a touch bitter. The mouth feel is pretty good but there is no balance here. This was an expensive gift to a friend but none of those tasting it cared for it. Sure won't be looking to find any.

Lots of spice with vanilla and orange. Coats the whole mouth with a medium finish. Sweet and sticky and so damn good!

Excellent. Needed 2 more bottles

Smells sweet, vanilla. Palate is sweet early, get a good amount of spice throughout and into the longer finish. Water helps open it up and brings out more fruit. Tried it a second time and it reminded of a brown cinnamon pop tart, then a lot of spice. Would recommend grabbing for a price under or maybe right at $100
