Nelson's First 108 Tennessee Whiskey

Nose: Ripe bananas and cream, hints of maple and vanilla, ghosts of nutmeg and slightly floral Palate: Toasted oak, cream, maple, turning slightly floral toward the finish Finish: Medium, with palate flavors giving way to slightly smoky barrel notes and a hint of nuttiness and pipe tobacco It is hard to believe this is just 2 years old. This definitely benefits from opening up. I have had this bottle open a few months and it is far more impressive going back to it now.

Really good. There’s a depth to it that I’ve never experienced before and can’t put my finger on it exactly. But I’m on the hunt for whiskeys that are more like this. It is young (2yr) so I can’t wait for their 1st properly aged version that comes out later this year.

strong rye smell and taste

Oak, vanilla and floral scents on the nose, smooth, creamy vanilla on the palate, smooth medium finish
