Rowan's Creek

I didn't care for this one! The flavors seemed off to me. Very disappointed.

Orchard fruit and nutmeg on the nose. Smooth and velvety on the tongue, just a bit of spice that lingers. The nose follows on the palate, along with a hint of cherry syrup, and some additional char and dark chocolate notes. Enjoyable. 10/2/17

Rowan's Creek Kentucky Bourbon (50.05% alc) Appearance: Caramel, viscous tears roll slowly down the sides Nose: A barrage of orange, yuzu, charred barrel smoke and honey present themselves all at the same time. Some barbequed fat pokes its way timidly through on deeper whiffs. Palate: This is a thoroughly oily mouthful which works its way easily onto and between the tastebuds. Sweet toffee and honey are the dominant notes. Quite immediately thereafter is a spicy warmth that permeates through the mouth and throat. Finish: long, smoked beef and ham and lemon juice, and of course more of that charred oakwood. Verdict: 8.5/10 this dram punches way above its weight within and beyond its price category. One would do well to pick up a bottle or three if spotted
