Old Blowhard 26 Year Bourbon

Always a treat to drink older whiskies. 26 years is up there for a bourbon Nose: Oak, carmel, fruity, sweetness ...and carries through onto the palate but with less fruit, less sweet Finish kind of hot for 90 proof?? For the price of a bottle I think large companies like Diageo need to do a better job picking barrels or lower the price when a barrel is not amazing 26 years sounds nice but is not liquid gold literally & figuratively in Old Blowhards case. Definitely drinkable but not great BUT SHOULD BE GREAT/ NEEDS TO BE GREAT AT THIS PRICE POINT. Stores are "asking" $800 Other "channels" are at $600 A pour at $25 a great value BUT still not worth it Taste #2 6/16/20 Much of the same but not picking up the heat...up score to 3.75

Lots of wood, thick, nice sweetness. I'm a fan

Medicinal. Smells like a musty basement full of green tea. Drinks waaay to smooth for its proof. Interesting, but not worth the price.

Not really an old bourbon kinda guy, but customer suggested this. Easy drinking as it should be, little bit of sweetness and the oak is not overpowering which is nice. Fun whiskey.
