Tasting Notes
"This Tennessee bourbon is filtered through charcoal before ageing, and one assumes that contributes to its silky character. Despite a relatively high proof, it's soft on the palate with notes of vanilla, banana bread, and orange peel. The warm but gentle finish brings notes of brown sugar. James Ownby Reserve is an approachable and well-balanced bourbon that holds its own for a reasonable price."
