Great Jones Straight Bourbon

Very smooth and surprisingly unheard of, it goes down very well but requires a few sips first to get you accustomed. Great Jones is the only distillery in Manhattan since the Prohibition.

A bit bitter this is just ok

I had two shots of this timely whiskey in honor of our cat who is slowly dying of old age and a lump on his side. The taste matches the memories of our cat, Stimpy. His claws like the spice going through my throat and the joy of his life with every sip, sniff and gulp. Love. Love of sentient life embodied in a cat for every sip of this bourbon. Thank you Stimpy.

Some grain on the nose but getting lots of alcohol. Hard to discern much. Flavor is actually similar, mostly vanilla, some pepper and sparkle but then a huge alcohol wave. Much more than I'd expect from an 86 proof. Flavors are fine but it kinda ruins the experience.

A deep and rich bourbon but not perfect. Its a great looking bottle with a solid bourbon in it.
