Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon

I guess for the price, this is a pretty good deal, but I found it to be pretty thin on body, a bit bitter, and I didn't taste anywhere near the range of flavors the experts mention. I tend to be pretty liberal adding water to barrel proof whiskey, and this one's flavor didn't bloom with the burn dialed down to optimum in the same way that Four Roses Single, Russell's Reserve, or Booker's do. Maybe I didn't get a great barrel...

4.25 Definite alcohol on the nose with some sweetness, citrusy middle then a spicy finish that can be a little harsh

A top contender for one of the best bourbons in the $30 range. The spectrum of flavor and balance for a bourbon in this price range is hard to find. There's nothing negative to say about this one, but it's so balanced that it leaves you searching for something bold to pop out at you that never will.
