Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Update: I rated this a 4/5 originally after i had my first pour at a bar. Since then i have scooped up my own bottle and it is not the same bourbon. Your mileage will vary greatly depending on the barrel. The pour i was was on the sweeter side with vanilla, oak, and a little bit of spice. The bottle I bought is much spicier - almost like a rye. It’s still good and I have no regrets, but a bourbon that differs that much isnt a 4/5 in my book.

The nose is on the sweeter end of the spectrum. Apple snd sweeter cherry. The palate is has dark caramel with heavy spice and oak. The finish has some slight leather with a bit of apple coming back. Theres a sour note as well which I'm not really into. Its a bit of a mixed bag but the nose is terrific and the spice gives it a particular edge thats enjoyable. Plus its the perfect proof. I'd buy it again at msrp.
