Breaking & Entering Bourbon

Nutty forward Cinnamon, banana bread Smooth with a touch of spice at the end

Pine, vanilla, and nutmeg on the nose, not a lot going on besides sweetness on the palate. Cocoa or chocolate finish with some caramel, very low burn, no surprise at 87 proof. Fine enough, and pretty curious that it's intent is to show off how blending can be successful, but I don't think I'll be buying this again.

glad to see it came back

Sweet and spicy. Pepper and cinnamon. Warm. Love St George

This is a very unusual bourbon. It is subdued, but in a rich way. It's sort of like how American Single Malts often taste like weaker forms of great Scotches. None of the flavors are very punchy, but wood and chocolate are certainly present along with a faint amount of minerals and a little toffee. The flavor is mildly chewy and although there is some bit of cinnamon here, the spiciness is negligible. Honestly, did Distiller taste the same whiskey? There is definitely vanilla and the rich but sweet and subdued flavor gives it a nice essence of the holidays. There is a fair amount going on, though not a ton. Despite its failings, I would be happy to drink this any day. If the flavors just stood out a bit more, this would be an excellent drink. The sweetness might be a bit much for a lot of people, but I like it. The nose has some notable woody spiciness that mixes well with some bitter rye that is earthy rather than full of minerals. It smells herbal, kind of like McKenna 10. The palate is viscous yet more lightly flavored and smoother than expected. There's a lot of clove. The wood tastes a bit damp, but it isn't overwhelming. The prickly spice is nice without being excessively harsh. The rich woodiness is nice, though it's a bit on the tannic side without tasting a ton like leather (though there is some leather flavor). It would be nice with some more sweetness and red fruit here as well as a bit less numbingness from the clove. Still, there's a decent amount of complexity in here with some rich barrel flavors. This is more of what I expected Garrison Brothers to taste like. It's interesting to drink and is fairly enjoyable, though it isn't an instant classic. It also doesn't stray as far into unknown territory as St. George Breaking & Entering American Whiskey does. It tastes good though not excellent and it has reasonable complexity.

Citrus, orange blossom, and vanilla. Surprisingly good and complex.

Nutty and spicy with hits of banana and cinnamon

Always love St George

Bright, sweet and fruity on the nose. Honey and vanilla with a bit of banana. The palate matches pretty closely. It is light but a little harsh. Short finish but fairly interesting.

Spicy with a huge smack of vanilla. Almost too easy to drink.
