Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon

Pretty nice and smooth

Gave this bottle a try neat and with some ice. The sweetness of the vanilla hits early. The sherry oak staves did their job. Some spice hits soon after, black pepper and cinnamon. But as they fade, I’m left a little underwhelmed. I think this would work well if you like your cocktails on the sweeter side. But at this price point, I’d go a little higher and consider Russell’s Reserve if you prefer a neat pour.

Sweet, longer finish, def can taste the sherry

Balanced Bourbon with the Sherry influence represented well with dark fruits and a nuttiness not usually found in Bourbon. I read the proprietary process mentioned in the description allows them to extract maximum flavor from the Sherry staves in a minimal amount of time and whether that's true or not, it's working. Great value and dram. Cheers!

Nose is sweet and floral. Woody notes do come through. Palate is more sweet and floral with brown sugar, cinnamon, and light fruity/nutty notes. Think darker dries fruit and nuts. Finish is medium but a bit astringent. Not bad, just a bit bitter for my taste. Overall it is a decent bourbon but not the best sherry finished I have had. On follow up visits this has a sweeter nose and finish. It is bit thin and brittle though.
