This was part of a three tasting flight - and the best of the triple. It's smooth overall - and starts with a hint of red wine flavoring but just a hint. It's rich on your palate with a flavoring that is subtle. This is a bourbon that you can enjoy with friends discussing whatever comes to mind.
Nose - Apple,Dried fruit that has some cinnamon but nothing too strong with a smooth vanilla scent at the end.
Taste - A ciderish taste with an alcohol lil sting, after some low but long smoke and at the end the bitter part of that French vanilla that is soo sweet and refreshing.
Finish - That French vanilla turns into a leatherish but man cologne that stays and just sits for some time.
Overall - the price and the experience is worth the mean of how much it's worth that richness it's a good pick up cheers.
Nose; crisp florals, lilac, sandelwood, faint warm spices and sugars.
Palate: barrel oak, mild vanilla- caramel sweetness, considerably dryer than some of the high proof Beam lineup, hints of red fruitiness and plum jam(the sherry finish most likely).
Finish: smooth, sweet, small tannins and more woods with little heat invites repeat sips.
Overall this seems like a really balanced product which is not surprising given the Suntori influence on the finishing stages and the care in quality is evident as well. The Fred Noe bourbon at the base brings the expected results yet somehow the overall blend doesn't quite live up to the promise of the nose and otherwise expectation of this hybrid whiskey heritage.
This is a great bourbon to share and will no doubt yield a myriad of opinions, but isn't likely to knock anyones favorite off the top of their list. If the pricepoint holds up it will be an easy addition for the home bar as a worthy conversational drinker.
