Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

simple but great fir the price. smokey, corn silk and herbacious on the nose, soft, sweet, and peppery on the taste.

Excellent for the price. Some barrel funk.

Nose is hay, clover and caramel with just a passing whisp of canned corn. Not remarkable, but also not bad. Palate is much the same, with burnt sugar passing quickly to dusty oak and then cinnamon. Close is all about the cinnamon spice lingering pleasantly for a few seconds before a clean, dry, finish. This does a lot of things alright; not too hot, not too bland, not too thin, but also not very exciting, memorable or special. For $26, it’s worth trying, but as a daily drinker it won’t replace my WT 101. Note: this does get a little sweeter and less spicy from a Norlan versus a Glencairn, and I think it’s probably better that way. The extra sweetness complements the nicely smooth mouthfeel and elevates at least one flavor beyond just ok.
