Devils River Small Batch Bourbon

Better neat than with ice

Not much good to say here. Very corn based. Aroma is almost non existent. Taste is smooth but nothing really going on.

Super mild and bland....but not bad. Great option for a shooter if you are drinking with a purpose

I love this! The nose is exceptional. I didn't expect it to be so sweet and caramel-y with it being a Texas whiskey. Very smooth nose. I was initially a little let down by the taste because it felt like it didn't hold up to the nose. The palate is pretty strong, with some sweet notes. When you add a drop or two of water, the taste is a lot better in my opinion, I can imagine that this is really good on the rocks. It's not smooth, but it doesn't need to be, it gives you a very warm feeling and it coats the tongue nicely. I can imagine that I will like the rye even more than the bourbon. I almost feel like it kind of tastes more like a rye than a quintessential bourbon taste, and I'm totally fine with that. I bet it's a great old fashioned. Definitely want to buy a bottle of their rye.

Ehh. It’s bourbon. Bought it because it was on sale, plus the market had an additional coupon for $3 more off. The color is light. Doesn’t have a rich taste by any means. Slight bite to it. Nothing really “special” about it.
