Clyde May's Straight Bourbon

Nose: brown sugar, corn, spice Palate: not a lot up front. Main taste along the finish would be a ripe apple. Palate is extremely short. Overall: not bad, not great. Would not go out of my way for this

Sugar taste and rich. Smooth on ice

Light caramel aroma. Some wood spice. Heaaaavy caramel sweetness, almost syrupy sweet. A little overpowering, a little bit of toffee tail. Medium body, richness works with the caramel, but too sweet for me.

Sweet palate with a small etoh bite. Sweet nose of sugar, oak, vanilla. Coats the mouth and tongue with a lingering flavour. Sweet with a pepper finish. I'd buy

Standard caramel and oak nose. Taste comes in with mild spice, caramel, and vanilla. Sweet and medium thick mouth feel. Goes down smooth and decent finish. Solid all around bourbon.

MGP product? Harsh to the nose. (Neat) Sweet at first taste then the bite. Like the dark color and deep char but didn’t mellow out as I would have thought. Not sure if 12% rye is considered a “high rye” mash but it may account for the hot bite. (Melted cube) even sweeter, still a noticeable bite but mellowed. Probably a good old fashioned but will ENJOY this with some ice until gone. Was a gift so not sure of price. Still learning this stuff so any opinions on above plz share.
