Horse Soldier Reserve Barrel Strength Bourbon

My bottle of Horse Soldier Reserve Barrel Strenght was a 117.2 proof, so a little higher than their standard. It is a very rich, smooth, unchilled filtered whisky that brings a lot of sugar notes in it. On the nose there’s a lot of caramel, vanilla and anise or ginger to it. I also felt a fig jam coming. The palate comes with strong notes of butterscotch, a spicy bite and the sweetness lingers for a while. Caramel and vanilla will last a bit longer. Great bourbon! Cheers!

Scent: Strong smoke, slightly sweet, and has a slight ethanol burn on the nose. Taste: Suprisingly smooth, considering the aroma of ethanol on the nose. Sharp notes of spice to start and hint of sweetness and warm notes to finish. Value: For many, the higher price may turn them away. It is slightly underwhelming for the price as well. I would definitely recommend trying at least once before purchasing a full bottle.

Tastes like sweet corn
