Treaty Oak Ghost Hill Texas Bourbon

Smooth on its own but good in an old fashioned. Sweet to the smell - caramel sticky.

Nose: smoke, Texas whiskey, vegetal (bell pepper) Taste: sweet, slight Texas funk that I like. Finish: alcohol burn, vegetal Overall: a funky Texas adventure. Happy with my purchase. More conclusions once bottle half empty. Things I like a bit more Balcones Pot Still Bourbon

The nose is pleasantly sweet, with notes of caramel and vanilla. Palette is also sweet, but with more of a syrupy flavor, woody background notes, and a hint of spiciness. The finish brings out more of the wood notes as the sweetness diminishes.

Carmel and vanilla on the nose. Taste is of oak and cherry with a mild bitterness that lingers into the aftertaste.

Cereal, cracker, caramel, apple, wheat and light vanilla nose. Sweet grain, bread, honey, sweet corn, caramel, black cherry taste.

Nose is straight up sweet sticky Christmas fruit cake. The kind actually made with love with plenty of dark fruit. Also plenty of oak. Palate off the bat makes me think rich fig Newton and a rather strong black pepper. Then I get the sweet dusty corn and oak. The pepper spice lingers. Very different from any other bourbon. A Texas profile that would never be mistaken for anything from Kentucky or Tennessee. I see a lot of keyboard “master distillers” saying Treaty Oak needs to age this longer. From my understanding the benefit of making whiskey in Texas is it ages fast and the downside of making whiskey in Texas is it ages fast. Age it too long and it becomes over oaked and undrinkable.
