Samuel Grant Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Samuel Grant Bourbon. Aged 3 years. 40% abv. A sazerac private label for vons, using benchmark bottle. Aroma: only slight hints of fruitiness/oak, similar to a cognac. Taste: a little sweetness, felt like a cognac/bourbon hybrid but light on taste. My dad when he tried it even said it tasted a bit like a cognac (he liked it). It tasted more like a bourbon after it sat a week, less sweet more charred oak. Super smooth. Might try again in the future to see if I still get that cognac taste. For the price it is a good buy and enjoyable. Cost: 8-9 plus tax for a 750 ml bottle. Grade: B-

Straight from the well. Good enough for an Old Fashioned.

Not bad for the price. Better served with ice.

Very smooth with a great afterburn
