Hotel Tango Reserve Bourbon, Ready-To-Drink

This is a highly underrated bourbon. This well balanced, wheated bourbon is floral on the nose and has notes of honey and vanilla. Aged 6 years.

Nose: nice nose, caramel, sweet fruit Taste: rye forward, woodsy

the flavor i look for in a bourbon, little but of wheat makes it

The nose is that of a young bourbon, which is odd, because 6 years isn't necessarily that young. However, I think it's more of a fresh grain, with just a bit of fruit and a tiny bit of sour tang, on top of a small amount of charred barrel scent. The taste is very young grain, wheat prominent, with a citrus chocolate flavor, leaning more towards chocolate when air is introduced. Almost 100% no finish present, other than some barrel finish, but that's more taste than an actual spice in the mouth. Always love fellow military members (seems safe to assume this distillery is likely veteran heavy), and the packaging is shockingly familiar, but this one isn't all that for me. Looking forward to returning to the distillery, this time when it's open, to try all the other products.

Nose is typical bourbon, caramel and wood. The palate was a strange flavor difficult to categorize, not good for me, sour fruit and bitter. The finish is medium, wood and spice. This is a 6 year wheated and I also tried the 2 yr that had rye in the mash and preferred that to this one. HT is a cool place, worth a visit and to try a flight of their offerings.
