Old Elk Single Barrel Straight Bourbon

Nose: smoked caramel. Oak. Vanilla. Cinnamon. Light red young fruits. Taste: caramel smooth oak. Vanilla light smokiness. Finish: vanilla and caramel with a little bit of a bitter barrel wood which is the only bad thing about the entire bottle

Intense mouth feel. Thin. Stout ABV that you feel but not overbearing. Ethanol and corny with an oaky aftertaste.

"Saluting the brave that protect us" Coast Guard Exchange barrel pick. On the nose there's corn, tobacco, and brown sugar. On the palate it's smooth for the proof, but very evident that it's MGP. A slight musty corn taste and decent amount of building rye spice. Overall it's good, but not great.

Hoping for more. Okay

5y Bow Street single pick - 55.45% Some early heat, mellows, tons of flavor - roasty and subtly sweet vanilla
