Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Sweet on the nose, butterscotch, Carmel, vanilla, slight oak. Although the nose is nice the palate isn’t the best. Slight oaky sweetness on the front then quickly overran by an alcohol heat. Not one of my favorites.

Nose up close is a pleasant old oak barn and alcohol. Cherries on nose if pulled back a little. Drinking neat and taste is really nice with a slight sweet and strong cinnamon. It is more smooth than expected at 50%. This is a real pleasant whiskey for the money. I’ll keep a bottle on the shelf for sure.

Butterscotch sweetness and nail polish on the nose, tingly spiciness on the tongue. I need to compare with Auchentoshan 12. It reminds me of this one.

Nose: initially a milder nose, caramel, oak, then more rye cinnamon. Taste: rye comes to play in a big way with the cinnamon being around throughout, some sweetness closer to the front of the tongue caramel oakiness, brown sugar Finish: there’s definitely some heat on this bottle, with a lingering burn and flavor sticking around. Relatively drying as well.
