Uncle Nearest 1856 Tennessee Whiskey (Sourced Whiskey)

Here is my review: The burst of flavors is worth a few seconds of reflection. My perception is that all of what I taste is a forward sensation. The mellowness happens on the swallow. The brew is like an explosion on sip, but a muffled explosion. I am picking up on a warm spice, caramelized vanilla, and the sweetness is really hidden to balance out much of the variety in the bourbon. Smell: powdery, sweet, raisin Visual: golden copper Feel: smooooth and moving towards a bite This is really nice. The problem is that you want to keep trying to figure it out. Well done, Uncle Nearest, well done.

Nose... Light and clean. Sweet scent without much alcohol present. A touch of vanilla and burnt sugar... Color... Golden to Amber... Taste... Lincoln County for sure. Oak, pepper, brown sugar, Carmel, chocolate, leather and more... Overall... It's solid and a definite keeper. If you look at my taste profile and add it up you've got this beauty which is smooth, strong, and filled with nuance.

Sweet, maple syrup on the nose, but very spicy palate. The spice lingers but vanilla develops on the finish.
