Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Nose: Caramel, vanilla and slight butterscotch. Slight fruity note on the edges. Detect slight note of fresh hay. Overall a pleasant smell...I suggest that you take some time to dissect it. Nothing overwhelms the nose not even to 100 proof. Palate: I need to slow down! The smell warranted a drink and I gulped it down. Again, nothing overpowering on the palate. Long mild finish with notes of wood and smoke. Cornbread like with some campfire smoke. I like this offering. Well balanced. Nothing really takes over but I get a full flavor. Earthy, slightly smoky with long finish. I can’t place the flavor on the finish but it is nice and warm and it lingers. Maybe just barrel notes? No spice bomb here, no burner on the tongue...just good bourbon. $20...I’ll keep it on my shelf.

For the money $26 simply put this is good

It’s growing on me. Still alcohol forward but I’m picking up caramel, vanilla, and slight sweet cherry on the palate.
