Peerless Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Appearance - copper hue, a quick swirl coats the side of the glass, leaving plentiful legs. Nose - Leads with notes of caramel, peanuts, cinnamon, and a bit of oak. But there's also ethanol, and that grainy note and wet cardboard funk you get in young craft bourbons. Palate - fairly thick mouthfeel, it definitely coats your tongue. The first thing I get is peanut brittle. There are also some baking spices. Sweet notes linger on the finish, along with some funky /grainy notes that unfortunately bring the finish down. Overall it's decent, probably about as good as you can expect in a four year bourbon. They're doing a lot of stuff right from a quality perspective (sweet mash, low entry proof, NCF, etc), but for me there's just no getting around the fact that bourbon needs more than 4 years of age to be really good.

Sweet smokey, too sweet?

Light flavor, feels undeveloped. Sweet, easy to drink. Not worth the price.

Nice color for a 3-4 year old bourbon. Has some heat to it. Very sweet on the nose. Taste like vanilla with a drop of water in it. Not great, but surely not bad for a new brand.
