Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Fantastic caramel and vanilla flavor. Super smooth great pour.

One of the better whiskeys inhave had to date. So complex and easy drinking.

BARREL NO. - 14529 BARRELED ON: 7.5.13 NEAT NOSE - The nose is fairly light with hints of caramel, vanilla, and oak. The nose leaves alot to be desired. PALATE - Fairly basic run of the mill bourbon. It’s very pleasant on the palate, a little sweet, with the same notes on the nose transferred over to the palate. FINISH - Medium - Long BUY? - Mmmmm. Not sure. After the hype surrounding this bottle, it’s definitely a letdown considering the hype. I do know there are variations between barrels but still. BUY AGAIN?? - Since trying this, I have passed on it multiple times in stores. I may replace this bottle once its finished in hopes of getting a much better barrel, but I’m not too keen on stocking up on this one.

Color: Nice dark amber color Nose: very different smell. Not super sweet. I almost want to say like warm and leathery. Definitely some ethanol. Taste: similar to the smell. I get leathery with not much sweetness really at all. There is a light burn there. Definitely a bold strong flavor. I really dont get a lot of rye spice either. Finish: long finish of that same flavor. Water?: I got more spice with the water so i would actuslly say yes. I liked it better than the normal flavor. Maybe an old fashioned bourbon.
