W.B. Saffell Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This is what Kentucky spirit should be. This is classic turkey turned up to eleven. Not quite as pushy as rare breed but has more flavor. While it’s not game changing whiskey this is what I wish wild turkey had in there portfolio on a regular basis. Similar to Russell’s reserve single barrel if you happen to get a good one.

Sweet caramel nose with fresh matured oak and sweet candy corn. Taste is exceptionally balanced and smooth for a 107 proof, dangerously easy to drink and get out of hand... Flavor is extremely balanced with a long sweet oaky finish, one of the best bourbons I’ve had in a while and I’m a mainly scotch guy...

These small bottles are cute, but pricey when compared to a normal bottle. Nose is brown sugar and burnt caramel. First sip is spicey and caramel forward. A bit heavy on the alcohol burn for my personal taste. Finish is very corn heavy. Overall a good pour, but overpriced compared to other options at the price.
