Nashville Barrel Single Barrel Straight Bourbon

*** SALSA *** Nose - Wow that is some deeep cherry. Little barrel spice. Maybe some toasted oak lingers but that is just a cherry bomb on the nose. Palate - Now this is a bourbon. Nice oak and leather with some light vanilla notes. Some nutty notes come forward strong in the mid palate. Theres some chili spice (little deeper than cinnamon) but its not overpowering, just complimentary. Finish - The nuttiness and the bitterness from the oak and leather is what sticks around. Also that cherry kind of comes back on the finish.

*** NO WAY HOME *** Nose - Got loads of cinnamon and baking spice off the nose. Theres a massive sweetness that accompanies the spice, like a vanilla bean. Theres definitely some toasted leather in there. As it opens some grape and pear start creeping through. Finishes with a scent of black licorice, very complex and fun nose. Palate - Okay that is very very herbal. How is this not a rye? no idea. Definitely more of that black licorice, some cherry and more leather. Not much oak, as this drinks thin. Some cinnamon lingers but lightly, not as overpowering as it is on the nose. Thats just about it. Very good but very interesting for it being a bourbon. Finish - So the finish is kind of a lighter version of the palate with the leather and cinnamon turned up a little. Pleasant, not harsh and drinks exactly at its proof.

Niee: chicory, nutty, vanilla Palate: chicory, vanilla, char, marshmallow, celery (?), spice in the finish. Maple syrup finish

Bright apple and fruity notes to start, some lighter caramel, cereal, mild but tannic oak, clove. the finish is also tannic but has spots of vanilla with a medium length finish. Very smooth for its high proof but not lacking in flavor or complexity.

Vanilla … light on the nose … oaky taste … slow build … dry … tennesee whiskey …

Cherry

PWF pick.
