Still Austin The Musician Cask Strength

While it's a young bourbon (minimum of 2 years in the hot Texas summers), it is not lacking in rich flavors. The nose has mix of young green wood and musky old oak. Together they mix with sweet candy, vanilla, and caramel notes and a hint of potpourri. When combined, it reminds me of an indoor area of a local plant nursery from my childhood. On the palate, the young wood is there but not overbearing, some alcohol heat (again from the youth) is present, followed by that same candy sweetness from the nose. The light notes linger a good bit after the sip. Given how young this is, it's a really goos bourbon.

Taste of vanilla. sweet but has the spicy rye tones. Also then the heat makes it all tie together. Really surprised how much i liked this bourbon. Will have again

Deep amber color. The nose has a ton of vanilla along with honey-cinnamon toast and candied pecans. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and hot, slightly drying. The palate is reminiscent of a Milky Way candy bar with notes of caramel, nougat and milk chocolate, along with bright cinnamon, vanilla bean, allspice and some tannic oak. The finish is long and peppery, driven by baking spices and ending with lingering oak tannins. If you like sweeter bourbons this is excellent, especially considering it's just 2 years old.

I enjoyed the straight bourbon, so I had a good feeling about this one. I was surprised just how much I liked it. The nose and palate I found to be quite similar. It's incredibly flavorful. The burn is there, and notes are still very noticeable. Berry. Apple. Dark cherry and chocolate on the palate. Bit of mint. Cinnamon. Chocolate on the finish with spice. I've been burnt by other similar brands that have come out of nowhere and garnered tons of hype. This is one that has finally been worth every penny.
