Johnny Drum Private Stock Bourbon

Pleasantly surprised at the complexity of the bourbon. Has a coating, oily mouthfeel that I like. The nose is lacking much depth or statement, but the taste develops with a medium finish. The right amount of heat and pepper at the end that makes you nod your head and say ahhhhhh. With an ice ball it continues to develop and flavors emerge to keep the drink fresh and interesting. The price point makes it a sleeper by comparison.

Vegetable/green apple followed by some spiciness at the finish. Kind of unique but think i prefer sweeter entry level bourbons

Definitely get that Willet profile on the nose. Herbally and a hint of fruit and not spicy. That nose transfers to the taste with a shortish finish. It’s pretty good as a change of pace, but not one I would go out of my way to find.

Worst bourbon I’ve ever tasted. No idea how this was an award winning bourbon. Had it neat in a blind and ruined my night.
