George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Spicy and sweet smell. Initial taste is sweet honey and corn, and then a lot of rye spice. But the great oily body of this keeps the spices from burning and highlight a mix of flavors. Finish is fantastic with a medium mint and menthol finish that I love. For the price a fantastic value! Adding to the rotation.

Solid bourbon with great oak, caramel, and vanilla flavors. Just the right amount of smoke and balanced alcohol burn. A perfect go to bourbon.

Honestly, this isn't a great bourbon. It's not sophisticated nor a complex , but it is a fun sweet whiskey. I don't mean like those gimmicky apple or salted caramel though. The reviews I've read nailed it in their description. Fruit salad is the predominate flavor. This is not one that you share with someone to impress with a rarity or meticulously crafted bourbon, this is one that you share with someone and tell them, "You'll never believe what I found for $35." If you are entertaining or going to a sampling party, or better yet introducing someone to bourbon and/or whiskey - this is a great choice.
