Driftless Glen Small Batch Straight Bourbon

An appealing sienna color. Nose is middling - cherry cola and orange rind, but thrown off by a strong undercurrent of oat. Huge cherry on the palate. Caramel. Orange bitters. Oaky barrel notes are a tad heavy. Proof is nicely calibrated - just a twinge of spice. Well clear of the craft pack - no obvious flaws. Critiques are preferential only. I’d sip this anytime for a reasonable price.

Amber in color with thick legs! :) Nose is light but vanilla and butterscotch come through. First taste was hit by a lot of spice followed by some sweet notes of caramel that didn’t last long. Ended with oak notes and some lingering tastes of a bourbon that could have used a little more time maturing to be a great bourbon. All that said it is a very good bourbon for under $35 (33.95).

Light amber color. Medium number of speedy legs. Nose is a little bit hot. Caramel dominates, with a little bit of malt hiding in there. A bit of a smokey note and a hint of cacao and ripe fruit. Plenty of warmth. Some spiciness shows up mid palate and gives way to a moderately long finish. It's a bit immature, kinda woody, almost cardboardy, but it has enough going on to make it interesting. All the bourbony stuff is there. This, as a $35 bottle is a very solid value.

Smells almost like a sweeter woodford. The taste starts with a warm candy corn flavor that peaks right in the middle of the sip and then diminishes quickly into pepper, but more of a bourbon burn than a rye spice

Good enough for the cabin
