Tom's Town Double Oaked Bourbon

Smooth and very tasty

Light, reddish-copper brown. Thin body but relatively oily legs. Rich, cereal-centric Irish whiskey nose. Plenty of vanilla. Palate is dominated by vanilla notes, strong menthol, and a relatively pervasive cocoa. Spicy cinnamon and a bit of ethanol that fades quickly on subsequent sips as the palate acclimates. A few vegetal notes come along for the ride - definite chili peppers, maybe a trace of that dill from MGP rye. Overall, hard to complain. Not perfect but perfectly drinkable at the $30 (sale) price point. The stave toasting flavor profiles they used show clear similarities to makers 46 ideology but I’m not complaining.

A bit of an edge, but good flavor
