The Ambassador Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon (Fall 2018)

Dry oak, vanilla, c rich and creamy, good brown sugar, toasted spice, Christmas spice, vanilla

Neat. Nose is sweet spicy vanilla with hints of brown sugar and black licorice. Taste is spicy sweet up front with a spicy vanilla dry oaky long finish.

Delicious bourbon

ok this isn't fall of 2018 but I have no idea how they do this. I'll deal with this later 53.15% and based on details other than at least 12 years old, this is likely 13 years old. Nose - Rich caramel, rye spice, and awesome. Oak and spearmint and all kinda of sweetness. Taste - So off the bat it's a bit acidic and harsh. So I'm going right into some water. Ok so it's a very nice MGP product. It's spicy complex and sweet sweet vanilla and caramel. I get christmas trees and liquorish. So this is an assertive and intense MGP 12-13-14 year old bottle. It's so sweet forward with great spices. Everything just works. Intense explosive and I do get a grape like thing. Terrible review but the score is a 3 and I'd debate going to a 4. I'll re review.

Excellent MGP expression, 12 years old, not too oaky, just delicious stuff.

This is the 2017 bottling. Very light, slightly musty nose. Slight honey after a minute, gets more syrupy with time. On the palate, smooth for the proof. Reminds me of sweet tea, a fruity tea with honey. Lingering spice in the back of the throat. The finish is one note, of spice, but it lasts forever. Nice and pleasant pour. 8/24/19
