Old Bardstown Estate Bourbon 101 Proof

Some traditional Willet spice. Pretty thin and a short finish. Would not purchase again.

Rough at first but after a little ice melt pretty good

Smoke and tobacco

Light copper in color. Pretty standard high-corn bourbon nose. Sharp and spicy on first taste with a thin mouthfeel. A nice, woody sweetness is revealed on later sips, but the heat hangs around longer than expected for 101 proof. A drop of water adds some tea leaves on the nose and opens up some subtle fruit characteristics on the palate. 3.7.
