Reviewed October 8, 2020 (edited December 17, 2021)Single Barrel pick from Niemuth's Southside Market - all around classic bourbon profile (and I mean that in the best way) with caramel, brown sugar and just a touch of anise or licorice to set it apart. It won't disappoint. Somewhat not memorable -

Reviewed October 7, 2020The nose is not impressive, but the taste makes up for it. I’m sipping the single barrel cask strength (which isn’t on here). Hot as hell, slight Carmel finish. Solid pour14.0 USD per BottleOld Kentucky Bourbon Bar LLC -

Reviewed August 30, 2020 (edited December 10, 2020)Neat. Neck pour. Party Source pick. 113 proof single barrel. How old? Not sure. 5 guys standing around the bourbon section at Party Source and not even one knew the age on their own store pick. Not exactly encouraging right off the bat, but I love MGP and bought it anyway. It was $58 which screams 5-6 years old to me with MGP. MGP runs about $10 a year on these picks mostly. (Bad customer service though, really disappointed with Party Source on that interaction...) Okay, on the nose this is a neck pour and it is a bit hot. But I am getting hints at a lot of flavors, just need to ease into it on this one. Oh this is an MGP butterscotch bomb. Makes me think it may be the low rye mash on first impression. The butterscotch is so good though. It’s surround by vanilla and a melody of berries. The berries are a range of high and mid range notes so apples, peach, cherry or berries. With each sniff I lean a different way on how to describe the fruit, which is fun. That much fruit on an MGP is unique too. I usually get apple or cherry but not this melody. Fresh pie crust and nice baking spices, cinnamon and sugar. There is this blast of black pepper though that keeps the experience from being overly sweet. Slight hint of green that I can get with young MGP. Sticking to the 5-6 year assumption. Super creamy and awesome mouth feel. Much much darker on the tongue than I was expecting. A dark maple syrup. Transitions straight into the butterscotch and fruits that were there in the nose. I’m going to narrow in on apple and cherry. Next to the butterscotch it starts bright like an apple but darkens quickly into the cherry and the cherry is what remains on the finish. Butterscotch is the main note. There is some nice vanilla that lingers on the finish too. Almost a vanilla cherry cola even. This is a fun MGP butterscotch bomb, still sticking to my low-rye assumption as well. 5-6 year low rye. For the price, I would take an Old Scout 5 year pick over this though. This is certainly delicious and better than 80% of the young MGP I have had over the last year but it’s not a killer bottle compared to other things I can get for $60.
