David Nicholson Reserve Bourbon

Powerfully wood-fronted, this borders close on "oily" territory. Being paired with this Italian food is the right move. Although the smell is a bit brighter with citrus notes, the age can mellow the night out in seconds. No need to try to break down the finish like crazy; think falling asleep in the rickhouse - wood again.

Nose... Freshly baked and still warm Ginger and vanilla cookies, followed by pecan wood and a definite hint of Apple, black pepper and oats.. Appearance... Only a slight to medium amber nature which is deceiving since it achieves so much flavor it's basically shocking... Taste... Cereal grains, pecan pie, sweet honey chocolate, rye grains and a definite vanilla coating making it's presence known... Overall... Priceless.. At $30 a bottle and being able to get this as needed is wonderful. It has compete nuance in it's ability to take such flavor from the barrel. This is what I look for when I'm looking for depth. If it were a bit more viscous it would be dangerous as it's so good as is. You can literally chew on this whiskey, bite after bite I keep coming back for more... Thank you Mr. Nicholson....

An all round amazing bourbon.The review nails how this drinks. Not too oaky, spicy or sweet. Works well in a cocktail but I prefer it neat. Amazing value one to always have in the cupboard.
