Pure Kentucky XO

Floral honey on the nose. Strong rye notes on the palate, like sweet flowers. But not unbalanced. Good heat and some light bitterness. 7/30/17

This is a good bottle for someone who wants a different taste in bourbon. It has some strong flavors that can be overwhelming if sipped neat, but adding just a bit of water opens up this whiskey. The fact that it is 107 proof allows it to be deluded slightly without being made weak. I wouldn't go out of my way to find a bottle, but if I were in the mood for something different, I wouldn't pass it up.

Lots of flavor but not great flavor - a lot of bite. Wouldn't buy again.
