Legent Bourbon

Rich, sweet vanilla taste. Nice mellow heat with a peanut finish. I’m enjoying it!

91 Smell: fruity wine. Rich light body. Initial taste of caramel. Vanilla after breathing. Long peanut buttery finish.

Great dark color, but not enough to think it's artificial or from anything other than charred oak. The scent from a distance is nutty and light, but strong toasted oak and jammy wine flavors come alive when nosing the glass. The proof seems perfect for this application, since the blending of wine, bourbon, and sherry all have a corner to the palate here. A classic, middle-aged bourbon is the first thing to taste, then deep, dried fruit notes, likely from the wine, have a slight impact on the middle. The finish is clearly nutty and where the sherry comes in. A few minutes after the last sip, more and more toasted and even raw oak are easily tasted, smoothing out the finish for quite a while. As daring and odd as the Noe brothers have been lately, this is actually a great addition, with a really good price point.

Prefer neat Neat Nose: herbal, vanilla, cherry Taste: peppercorn, spicy, cool body Water Nose: milder Taste: grass, bitters, cooler
