Peach Street Colorado Straight Bourbon

Aroma of burnt chocolate, slight citrus flavor, charred flavor almost peat but not quite, creamed corn aftertaste

Very delicate nose, for a bourbon. Light oak and some muted sweetness. The palate is stronger, with great caramel notes that linger into the finish. There's strength of character without some of the harshness of other bourbons. A nice oily mouthfeel. No ice needed. Very mellow and pleasant. Five year straight bourbon - the caramel notes are joined by some light spice and more wood notes. More classically bourbon but I prefer the younger.

Mellow vanilla with rich oak taste. Honey after taste

Chocolate has a hazelnut finish...or faint peanut butter. Enjoyable, but not over bearing. Potentially best for a night cap vs first drink.

Not very experienced with Bourbon, but here goes... Nose: Fruity and a tad winey. Spicy as well (cinnamon?). Dark honey and marzipan. Quite rough and a bit dirty. Reminds me of a cheaper Cognac (?!) Palate: Burned sugars, more marzipan. Some darker fruits as well (plums, figs, etc.) - but not like in a sherried whisky, it’s rougher and less oaky. Dark honey. Finish: Burned sugar and marzipan lingers. Quite consistent with the palate; no new notes, though the spicy cinnamon note is more clear now. Overall: Less caramel and less vanilla than I’m used with in a Bourbon, and the (dark/rough) fruityness separates it from the mid-end entry-level bourbons I’ve tried before. It’s decent for sure but on the rough end for me, and does not offer sufficient nuance to compensate for it. I score it 2.75, which to me is the higher end of Ok. I would hold it above the lower-end entry-level bourbons for sure and on par with or slightly above the mid-ones (still talking entry-level).

Thin. Otherwise, a balanced flavor profile with a happy burn. Odd aftertaste, but it doesn’t linger.
