Bulleit Bourbon

Not fond of the Rye

The nose starts with green apple, caramel and light touches of vanilla, oak and baking spices. In the background there is a touch of leather and a floral rye spiciness that rounds it out. The palate stays mostly to the front of the mouth and sends a somewhat sharp baking spice down the sides while oak and vanilla go across the tongue. Floral rye comes out as you chew on it, but it ultimately feels more or less one dimensional. The finish is short with a lingering pepperiness that keeps the mouth tingling a bit as a creamy sensation hangs over the tongue.
