Johnny Drum Private Stock Bourbon

Nice smoky flavor. Early burn that gives way to a nice warmth that lasts about 2-3 minutes.

Vanilla and apple pie with a long finish. It has a nice balance of sweet and heat.

Wanted to wait to rate. After 5 pours, it’s still there. Lots of cinnamon & dried fruit. Very little heat. Sweet & Smooth. Way Closer to ORVW than any W 12 I’ve ever tried.

The nose is immediately poached apple with sweet caramel sauce, sugar syrup, mild baking spices and sweet oak. The oak is stronger on the palate and is followed by caramel apple and baking spices for a rich and oily mouthfeel. The finish is medium long with fading oak and baking spices while the caramel apple softly lingers.
