Reviewed November 22, 2020 (edited November 15, 2021)No initial burn on the nose, fresh crack. Smooth candy nose with fruity undertones. No corn on the nose. Banana, baking spice and caramel. Amazingly smooth for a 6yr and at the proof. Drinks well above it's age statement.105.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed October 19, 2020 (edited May 9, 2021)Neat. Neck pour. Lion’s Share pick. 108 proof. Loved the Boone County Wheated MGP picks I have had this far. My two prior barrels were around 120 proof. This pick is 108. Lots of flavor on this nose. Fruit forward. Dried apricots and Granny Smith apples. Dense caramel. Buttery flaky crescent rolls. Hint of cinnamon and pepper. Gosh, reminds me of an apple cobbler baked in a Dutch oven. Hmm it’s viscous but all soft and fluffy on the tongue. Brown sugar, cinnamon and hint of apples on the tongue. Yum. Doesn’t progress in the direction of the nose. Much darker. On the taste, it’s dark charred caramel and dark cherry. Getting chocolate on the finish and a spicy pepper on the legs. Going back to the nose, that is still mostly a light experience as it was on the first pass. Doesn’t really hint how dark the flavors are. Finish is really long and delicious. Another single barrel, another hitter. I can’t wait to try the 7 year bottles I see floating around. When these hit 8 year next year, they will be so amazing. -

Reviewed May 10, 2020 (edited June 15, 2020)Neat. Neck pour. Gallenstein pick BCW10. First, I rarely note color but this is a beautiful auburn. Quite dark for just 6 years. This nose is lovely, light and bright with a few interesting dark notes as high dive deeper. Buttered popcorn is the first thing I am pulling out. Super buttery. Caramel brittle. Baking spices. Cinnamon apples. Honey and maple. Glorious mouth feel. So velvety. This is really good, I think this pick beats the one I got from the distillery. On the tongue it is all this honey and nectar sweetness. Transitions to even more over the top sweetness. Cotton candy to hard caramels with intense lingering vanilla. It’s so oily that waves of caramel keep coming and it rolls down the throat so slowly. The more I sit with it, darker oak notes straight to come up. A lovely pour. I really enjoyed that. -

Reviewed April 16, 2020Very good flavor for the age, super smooth at 54.4% and doesn’t taste “young” it is very well executed and flavor lingers forever without any awkward flavor notes just a nice clean taste. Highly recommended... -

Reviewed April 11, 2020 (edited September 18, 2020)So galenstein selection 7 109 or so price point. Nose - I get bread dough, vanilla, citrus candy, and oak. Taste - Simple, sweet, vanilla, a bit too much spice (cinnamon/red hot). It's a nice whisky up front but the spice has over powered the sweet. There's that wheat character. So any good? Yeah, it's good. Is it worth 110 bucks? hell no! This is a very nice whisky that is unique and in that i think us geeks will be ok with 109 or so bucks for, but frankly unless you want overly hot, cinnamon, and fankly not overly well aged whisky...maybe you like it? 2.25 - it's above average, but there's some nice quality here too. Boone County does well with MGP casks for the age, but no 6 year bourbon is special. This is bourbon vs wheat whisky and higher proof, but frankly I think the woodford wheat is about on par or better, not sure what I scored the wheat but I'd assume it's better. This does justify more price even if not as good due to proof.109.0 USD per Bottle
