TX Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I'm a Texan, and so I want to try, eventually, everything from Texas I can get my hands on. This was my first chance at this bourbon, so I took it. A fifth cost me $54.99 at the Mountain Run location of Kelly Liquors. All I could find about the mash bill is that it's a wheated bourbon - the mash bill is corn, wheat, and barley. The color in the glass is old copper. NOSE: Something that's musty or dusty or both starts things off. Then come vanilla, grass hay, a hint of honey, melted butter, and a touch of spice - cinnamon, and then other things in the background of the spice. MOUTHFEEL: Thick and buttery - this is the best part of the whisky. TASTE: Honey, butter, and a very faint grass note. FINISH: Medium long, with nothing but oak. SUMMARY: I found this very disappointing. It's a moderately good bourbon, but not more. The most is fairly complex, but it's simple on the palate. At $20 I'd buy it again, but not at the actual price. RATING: I give it the fourth level of my hick scale, which is merely Okay. That translates to, 2.5 stars 50/100 5/10
