Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength

2.5? A little ice helps. I like things neat, but this needs some ice. Kinda rough

Decent flavor. Alcohol content is too high to be smooth.

Spiciest bourbon I’ve ever had. More spice than Stagg Jr, but less robust flavor. Overall very good especially from Bulleit.

Even at the higher proof, this is syrupy sweet stuff. It just reminds me of the base Maker's Mark with more alcohol. If you like that kind of thing, go for it. For a long time I thought I didn't like bourbon because I didn't like Maker's Mark or Knob Creek. It doesn't even make a very good Old Fashioned. Not to mention the terrible way the owners treated their gay daughter. Don't buy this, go get some Old Grand-Dad 114.
