Pinhook Bourbon Country Cask Strength

Really good nose, unexpectedly fruity palate (Tasted at Bourbon Bastards, 1/23/20)

Nose: sweet corn with ethanol Palate: rich sweet with hint of cherry Finish: medium rich dry with slight sweetness

Tasting with a cigar. Nice cherry sweetness. Well executed.

Nose - heavy corn, slight hint of banana pudding, bits of vanilla and oak Palate - dominated by corn then an almost nutty taste on the toungue Finish - slight hint of caramel and dark chocolate. More age would do this bourbon wonders. Better overall with some drops of water.

MGP juice...batch proof...I've heard good things, what the heck? Nose - Smooth creams and vanillas over young cheap cheap oak notes. A touch of earth, perhaps some hay or straw. Taste - Butter, oat bran, young oak, vanilla...a bit different but no sharp notes, alcohol is well under control, good mouth feel. 50 bucks. At that price I can't recommend. This is just too young. This is too expensive. It's also not the sweet and oaky mix I like for mixing. This is for the adventurous with money to spend. I'm a bit disappointed given some hype I heard and the price point. That said it's pretty good if you're just comparing it to 3 year old bourbons. Actually very good for that standard.
