Lux Row Double Barrel Bourbon 12 Year

High rye with a sweet nose. Great heat on the finish but not too much. Lovely almond, little citrus, a fair amount of oak, and a lot of fun!

Caramel and peanut explosion, one of my favs

Beginning to work through a number of blinded samples of high proof bourbons, very generously provided by @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington Blind tasting from sample. Getting a Wild Turkey or more likely Old Forester funk on the nose. I think an OF was in the mix. Burnt sugar, vanilla, woody nose. The palate is full-flavored, vanilla, burnt caramel. Has to be Old Forester Barrel Proof, I'm sure of it. I'll be shocked if it's not. I think it's really good bourbon, but it also doesn't blow me away, especially since I see these being sold regularly for 150+. It's better than my bottle of Elijah Craig Uncut, but not as good as a good ECBP. Let's pull back the tape and see if I'm right. Embarrassingly wrong. Lux Row 12 Double Barrel. Apparently I don't know my Old Forester (or Lux Row) very well. Actually, looking at their offerings, I don't know that I've had any Lux Row product. Apparently, blind tasting high proof bourbon is humbling for this amateur palate. Anyway, thank you for the sample BOL!
