Cream of Kentucky 11.5 Year Bourbon

I like this one a lot but my good buddy tried it and said it tastes like armor all. Now I can’t stop thinking tasting it. I still thinks it’s great but can’t name a different taste.

Carmel, not a lot of burn. Coffee

A sample generously gifted by bourbonjosh24. Nose: Vanilla up front with quite a bit of poached pear. Some oak with background notes of rye grassiness and an earthy note I can't quite put my finger on. Flavor: Vanilla, dark sugar, and poached pear with quite a bit of toasted pecan. Kind of like pecan pie with fruit in it. Delicious but sweet. Finish: Very oaky with some rye spiciness. Fairly long finish that gets drier as time goes on and the sweetness fades nicely in to the barrel notes.
