TX Straight Bourbon Barrel Proof

This is my first time trying any TX bourbon, and I'm jumping right in with the Barrel Proof version. The nose is hot with a bit of vanilla and caramel. I tasted this neat then on ice. Much more spice and oak neat. You really taste all that 118 proof drinking straight from the glen. Pour this one over ice in a rocks glass and the sweetness comes to life. You get rich notes of caramel and a cinnamon kick. I get a lot of sweet corn as well. Nice finish, with nothing offensive on the aftertaste. This is a nice craft bourbon, not overly complex, but it's very sippable.

High brown sugar on the nose, crisp heat, licorice, wooden notes

A little thin, even for BP, but decent cherry, vanilla and oak. Not bad!

Way way better than their regular release, but lots of sweetness - but still has this celery note that I get in their regular release.

Aroma is sweet, caramel with woody oak. Smells like the regular TX , taste is somewhat similar but on steroids. Has the sweet vanilla hits, caramel but with a barrel proof of 127.4 it gets your attention very quick. But it’s still very very drinkable. Faired better with a bourbon cube added to it. I do like it much better than their first run TX Bourbon I had a few years ago. Well done.
