Lexington Bourbon

Ok so I have had my eye on this for quite a while. I read somewhere it has a high barley % in the mashbill and as a scotch lover thought this might be interesting. Came across an opened bottle from a coworker clearing out some shelf space. I always figured it would be subpar but what the hell free whiskey always tastes better. Poured neat the nose is dusty old books, light caramel and whispy smoke. Palate has watery sweetness and gentle smoke along with young wood. Like a year or two in barrel with thin weak flavor transitioning to a slightly sour oak finish with trailing grainy notes. It is not good bourbon however I dont completely hate it. I think the barley and young oak unite to make a different profile I can appreciate...a bit. Certainly not a recommended bourbon but if someone is offering a sample why not....64/100...barely acceptable. Dont buy it but drink it if offered still crushes putrid Canadian whisky

Nothing special. Like very mild sweet blend

First cigar and whiskey on the front porch this year

One of my favorites

Not something I would have again. It may be the lower proof is better in a punch.
