J. Henry & Sons 5 Year Small Batch Wisconsin Straight Bourbon

Nose of cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla, bubblegum and apple, palate of vanilla, spice, cherry with a little oak, short sweet finish

Pretty smooth, nice sweet nose with very fresh oak throughout, and a nice barrel-flavored finish

Aroma- massive sugar candy and toasted oak. Subtle hints of Peppermint, Cherries. Taste- unfortunately this one doesn’t exactly follow the amazing aroma. There is still sugar candy and that unique oak. But I was expecting more just based off the aroma. It’s thin and had a moderate lingering vanilla note that is nice. The sweetness reminds me of a dessert. Initially I was going to give this a 3.75… but the more I sipped on it, the more I really started to enjoy this flavor. I’ll rate it a 4 but I would say it’s 3.9 Overall - think of OF 1910 but a touch watered down.

Vanilla caramel butterscotch nose. Wood char forward to rich oily candy. Drops of water brings the barrel to the aroma and adds a peppery note in the swallow. Gets hot.
