Chestnut Farms Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

paid $100 and well worth it.nice and smooth with a little bite on the palate..nice finish.

Revisited this on 1.26.22 Although my notes really won't change on this, the rating will. I made the note upon my an original rating that I would have knocked it down 0.25. Today, I most certainly do that and even consider dropping it an additional quarter point. It would be a sure to pay $100 for this ever again. Beautiful golden with amber tint. Really hangs on the glass, leaving a ring of beads. Nose is butterscotch, vanilla cookies, a hint of eucalyptus and clove. Beautiful sweetness throughout the drink. Butterscotch up front, turns more to caramel over time. Light char notes, but lots of wood on the mid-palate and into the finish. The vanilla makes a strong return along with a hint of maraschino cherry. The finish is long and wraps up with toasted oak, dark honey and sticky caramel. This is a good bourbon. Well rounded with excellent balance and a medium- long finish. At $100/bottle I nearly knocked it down .25 points, as one can do as well (or better) at $50, but those are getting awful hard to find

Nose - Super sweet vanilla and caramel swirl. Even though it smells desserty it still smells light. Quite delicious smell. Palate - The palate is exactly the same as the smell its super delicious. Mildly hot on the tongue. Nice and sweet. Finish - Finish is sweet and hot. Quite delicious honestly.

Nice presentation of classic bourbon flavors but nothing unique or standout, smooth and well rounded but not very rich or lingering, priced too high imo
