Breckenridge Bourbon

Nose: Sweet, dusty corn. Oak and char. Mint, thyme, lemon oil - there's a green, vegetal thing going on that's hard to put my finger on. Bananas and strawberries. Red bell peppers maybe? Fresh, warm rye bread. Icing. Palate: Sweet, dusty corn, barrel, dusty leatherbound books. Honey, oranges, toasted grains. A little floral. Tannic. Medium-light mouthfeel. Finish starts with a surge of tannin texture, but the dusty corn and barrel stick around, along with honeysuckle. The oak and corn stick around, mint fades in and out, and then eventually you have very mid-palate focused flavors. Finish is medium short. Other notes: A good example of potential. I want this to be more on all fronts - more body, denser flavors, heavier mouthfeel. It's not bad, mind, just not the big, punchy, complex flavors bourbon can aspire to these days. That being said, this would appeal to somebody looking to step up from their usual Jim Beam white label and find their gateway into the rest of bourbon.

Pleasant spice, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, sweet throughout, thin mouthfeel with a short slight spice finish.

Nose of sweet butter and bread. Basic brown sugar flavor. Flat finish. Not bad, but nothing special. Definitely not worth a premium over $25 bourbons.

Nothing too special here. Not a bad sipping whiskey but you can definitely spend a fraction of the money and get a bottle of buffalo trace or Evan Williams.

Very thin no body

Nice bite. A little alcohol
