David Nicholson 1843

Pro review is spot on. nose is light. pallet was honey, cinnamon and peanut brittle. Corn notes also detected after some time passed. Not amazing but not bad either.

smooth oaky with Carmel

Tasting neat. Nose is oaky, a bit of ethanol, and some red hot candy. Taste slightly corn sweet, and thin. Some honey, vanilla, oak, light fruit, and peanut...which all fade in the dry finish which is short, other than the red hots that is surprisingly long lived and builds over several sips. You need to cleanse the palette with a little water between sips just to be able to taste anything else I wouldn't have guessed this is a wheater in a blind taste...there's no body and round sweetness. I also don't think I've ever had such a hot cinnamon bomb. It's almost a novelty at this point..which is why I don't hate it...but it's not great bourbon..it's adult fireball

I occasionally like to stop into the local mom & pop liquor and look through their selection. It’s a small store packed to the ceiling, but they always manage to get the unique and hard to find bottles. While they didn’t have the bottle I was hoping for, I opted to pick this one up. Up front is an alcohol taste immediately followed by Smokey oak. The 100 proof is clearly present. The aftertaste of smoked corn really lingers. Unfortunately, I overpaid. This would serve as a good bourbon for mixers, but for the price, I feel there are better bourbons out there.

After the alcohol vapors dissapate i get light floral notes and frozen carmels in wax paper. Slightly oily mouth feel, thickens when wallow it around your mouth a bit. More buttery carmel notes and not too-sweet sweet corn. decent spice and watmth on the back end.

Tasting notes are spot on. Fiery finish, mid pallet is honey and corn upfront.
