Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength

Nose of ethanol, wet oak, more ethanol, some leather and spice but nothing rich or warm which I would expect for such a high proof. Palate is hot and thin but more vanilla and oak than the nose would suggest. Not terrible but seems too thin for the proof and much better options out there for the $.

Some cherry notes

Vanilla Carmel eucalyptus on nose. Same on palate. Lots of spice in the palate as well. Finish is long. Overall it’s a nice enjoyable sip without a load of complexity but plenty of balance and bite and I like the sweet eucalyptus notes.
