First Call Double Oak Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Nose: Pretty simple. Vanilla and oak. I got a light hint of butterscotch from the neck pour, but it quickly faded away to the oak. Palate: Vanilla and brown sugar. Relatively sweet palate. Not overly rich or sweet like other members of the double oak family. Finish: Light vanilla and oak fade to a pleasant heat and warmth. A touch of black pepper on the tongue with a nice mouthfeel. Thoughts: Simple. You know what you’re getting. Nice supplement to the night cap or “dessert-esque” Double Oaks like Woodford or Old Forester.

Nose of oak, vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted marshmallow, pear, peppercorn, and char. Palate sweet, oak, vanilla, pepper, and caramel. Peppery finish.

On the nose I get a clear distinct arroma of cream soda. On first sip I get further cream soda and vanilla notes. The finish offers subtle oak an char with undertones of leather and pepper. Ice softens the peppery notes and keeps some of the complexities. Good offering and recommend if you can find it.
