David Nicholson 1843

Nose has light alcohol burn a lot light grain scents. Smells young. The palate has a lot of corn flavors and honey. Finish continues with burnt corn and not very sweet. It’s ok for mixing cocktails but not to sip on.

For a $25 bottle the burn is much less than most reviews will state. It’s a good hidden gem to keep on the shelf.

Young, sweetness notes of honey

A joint note brought to you by K-dog and Da-monster. Candy corn in taste and mouthfeel, menthol, sweet corn, movie popcorn butter.

This wheated bourbon has a golden gram / honey yeast fragrance with a light alcohol note on the nose. First sip thin mouth feel and little hints of cereal and honey. Second sip this opens WAY up simple but enjoyable Kellogg’s Raisin Bran meets honey sugar smacks. Maybe even a little cinnamon roll. This cereal sugar bomb has a very satisfying long finish. Shouldn’t go out and run this down but wouldn’t kick it out of bed either.

Won’t leave a rating for this as it was more experimental. Original Stitzel-Weller 1972 7-Year bottle, Estate sale pickup; no proof of proper storage / provenance. Lots of burnt rubber, unfortunately. Fun to try regardless. Tasted 02/2020.
