Davidson Reserve Tennessee Straight Sour Mash Whiskey

The nose on this starts out quite wonderful, especially when given time to open up. Notes of fresh berries, somethig musty but sweet, and a tad of honey. The palate brings a bit of spice, along with some smokey flavors with that underlying mustiness carrying through. The finish is fairly quick, but the spice lingers pleasantly. Overall, this is a decent craft pour, but not something i would purchase again.

Unreal

Typical bourbon nose: sweet caramel with vanilla and oak. More of the same on the palate to begin with then spice takes over big time. Nice mocha coffee notes on the finish. Very good.

Amazing bourbon

Neat, in a glencairn, rested 5 minutes. Nose is rich and buttery, with hints of brown sugar and spice. Spice is much more assertive on the palate with strong clove and Sichuan peppercorn notes followed by nougat. Despite the flavor notes, this is not overly sweet. Finish is oaky and slightly tannic.

Woody, alcohol forward, carmel and vanilla, warm and smooth, sweet finish. Excellent sipping whiskey. Perfect on the rocks.
