Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

First time trying old tub and it won’t be the last. This is a great pour for what it is, cheap bottled in bond, gives Evan Williams BIB a run for the money. On the nose cinnamon red hots, Carmel, and vanilla with a little oak. The palate is sweat up front leading into rye spice, and oak, with the typical Beam nutty note. The finish is short but pleasant and mellows out with a nice mouth feel. I will be keeping it stocked in my bar.

Better as a mixer than straight unless doing shots. I get a slight vanilla at the end.

A less interesting version of Wild Turkey 101

Sweet, light, good char

Tried it in a 5 wide blind taste test and it finished 2nd to BT. I was pleasantly surprised. Very solid with butterscotch, vanilla and a little maple syrup on the nose and palate. Good finish on the warm to hot spectrum. I’ll be buying it at a store soon.
