Brother's Bond Bourbon

Much better options for price

Golden straw in color, runs off the glass pretty quickly, but leaves a nice ring. Nose shows a good shot of rye, and the wheat behind it. Hay, spice, and a hint of citrus peel and green apple (gotta be an MGP distillate). Soft, a bit sticky on the palate, and sweet throughout, it's got good balance for a younger (no age statement) bourbon. The barley makes itself known on the mid-palate, reminiscent of a rich highland scotch or syrupy Irish whiskey. A bit of warmth, assumedly from the rye, follows vanilla, milk chocolate and a faint hit of mint.The barrel comes through near the short-medium finish, with some nice contributions from the wood and the char. Dangerously easy to drink... with a campfire and a couple of s'mores, it could disappear in a hurry. What it lacks in depth and complexity, it makes up for in drinkability. This is a solid summer drinker and I'm grateful that Corey hooked me up!

Nose is sweet, picking up vanilla and mint. Taste is non-existent at first then followed by vanilla, oak, with a slight kick of spice. Finish is quick and hint of mint or cinnamon. Very approachable whiskey that won't offend anyone. It's very smooth.
