Legent Bourbon

Very nice sherry cask finish

My initial nose on this was your typical bourbon nose (sweet caramel, oak forward, and a bit of ethanol). Not impressed in the least; That is, until my 2nd pour! I nosed sweet, creamy caramel right upfront, alongside vanilla. Then I began to pick up fruits, like tart plums, green grapes, and melon? 🤷🏽‍♀️ On the palate, I got candied walnuts almost IMMEDIATELY! The caramels, brown sugars, and vanilla were also present; with a slight bite of spice. Viscous, and lightly mouth-coating. The finish was rather short; which I’m not a fan of, but I did get the oak wood, barrel char, and a VERY faint honeydew melon. I’m gonna let the bottle sit for a while to really open up, and give an updated review. All in all, I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bourbon. Good Job, Noe and Fukuyo! 👍🏽 UPDATE!!!! - So, I let the bottle sit for a week to allow the bourbon to open up. To me, it increased in sweetness (which I love!), but it also became more astringent. To summarize this review, Legent is a decent bourbon, for both price and for giving us a partial 3-in-1! I was expecting a bolder impact from the sherry and wine casks, but I would recommend it, and put it in the top 10 of beginner bourbons.
