Horse Soldier Signature Small Batch Bourbon

It’s like watching a VP debate but it doesn’t suck.

Horse Soldier is a great bourbon that has very clear increases in quality as you go up their 3 main bottles. This one is hot, has lingering sweetness, and unfortunately tastes young. The good news is for $20 more you get this but in a longer aged barrel strength and that 20 is absolutely worth the extra flavor and more complex taste.

Nose: Old hay barn, probably due to the soft red winter wheat it uses. Some vanilla and caramel too. Palate: A sweet nutty like caramel is what I notice most about this bourbon very smooth with just a hint of black pepper. Also a hint of a chocolate malt flavor that I really enjoy. Finish: medium length with a bit of that caramel and vanilla become a little burnt but not in a bad way. It adds a nice char smoke to it all as it fades off into the distance.

Best so far
