NULU Reserve Straight Bourbon

Nose: alcohol, light brown sugar barrel spice Palate: I get slightly toasted brown sugar, Carmel on the front. Not a lot just thin. The finish is barrel spice with burn. I like a burn on my finish. Overall I like this bottle. Not my fav but not a slouch either. It’s a fairly decent pour that satisfies.

First time trying a freshly popped bottle. This is the California exclusive pick. Nose - tons of oak and ethanol. Once you get past the ethanol there is some sweet notes of honey. Taste - starts spicy. Lots of cinnamon, oak and apples. Dry mouthfeel throughout. There is a delicious and smooth vanilla flavoring in the middle. This one ends rather abruptly and more spice. Overall - to sum up the taste it’s apples vanilla oak and cinnamon. The spiciness is noticeable throughout which is probably partially attributed to the 114 proof. Overall good bottle but nothing spectacular.

Spicy, solid MGP pick.

Nose: slight for the proof, thin brown sugar, vanilla bean, ethanol astringency P: dry wood dominates, a little sweetness is quickly dissipated into overwhelmingly dry wood spice as the bottle opened Tx1 edition- liked it less as the bottle went down
