Legent Bourbon

It's fine, but doesn't stand up to the hype for me. i get a lot of ethanol smell from the glass (actually smelled better from the bottle then in the glass). Initial taste is decently smooth oak and burnt sugar. Then it gets decently hot and for a while the alcohol overpowers the flavors. Once the burn calms down I get left with a decent leftover. All said and done it isn't bad and good for sharing a dram with friends, but the middle isn't doing this any favors in my book.

Nose... Definitely Bourbon forward, sweet cherries, tree bark, warm pecan pie and a bit of vanilla, almost donut like... The wine and Sherry come early just lightly.. Appearance...a light to medium copper... Taste... Initially the wine and Sherry influence is there, followed by a corn rich bourbon note, mint, peanuts and pepper... Overall... For the price point of $34usd, it's a definite must try and even to buy a bottle of. As far as the overall complexity that I was hoping for in a Sherry influenced bourbon it just didn't meet it. If it somehow managed to pull the Sherry more so it would have been remarkable. As far as the bourbon is concerned it's solid, but I know other Sherry types that meet my expectations more so than Legent has so far.... Maybe Cask it next time?

So good... Drink before you think!

Great nose. That's about it. Thin with a quick finish

A very interesting east meets west expression. Very smooth and flavorful with notes of caramel, cherry, vanilla, peach, dark chocolate, white chocolate, floral, pepper, red grapes, raisins.
