Old Tub Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Candied caramel nose with a vanilla caramel taste. Long spicy caramel charred barrel finish.

The nose lets the corn jump out of the glass with an underlayer of peanuts and peanut shells. Very light vanilla and caramel. There is a weird astringency that is sour and unpleasant until you let the bottle open up. The taste is a simple sweetness with the Jim Beam peanut butter. The sour note fades the more you drink through the bottle and is eventually replaced with a more pronounced peanut butter caramel candy flavor. The finish is short and bitey with the youth notes holding out until the end. This feels close to good in some ways but the faults leave me wanting and reaching for other bottles. I am not going to pick up another.

Nose is apricots, peanuts, chocolate candy, and cereal. Reminds me of a fresh bag of trail mix Taste is apricots, butterscotch, boiled peanuts, and some sour grains. Finish is buttery and clings to the tongue

Excellent for the price. The solid BiB proof point and a lot of peanuts on the nose.

Peanut, oak, warm

This is an easy to enjoy, BiB for me. I love the higher proof, the little extra oak, but the general sweet thick caramel here. It is a classic bourbon profile for my palate. That said, with time, the nut or peanut note build a lot. It might overwhelm some. Great value where I am.

Vanilla, caramel, and oak on the nose. Tastes of peanut brittle and pecans with a slight vanilla. Later tastings I get much more peanut on the nose.
