Walking Stick Single Barrel Bourbon

Aweful. Oily and tasting of turpentine. Very hot or spicy, but unpleasant so. Additional tasting and notes: what I originally interpreted as turpentine is becoming a strong floral and cherry esters flavor, similar to an over flavored European cherry schnapps (Kirschwasser).

First time trying this bourbon - likely my last at this price point as it left a lot to be desired. Is a little sharp on the tongue initially but then smooths out somewhat on the back side which is ok. Recommend with couple of ice cubes to allow it to open up a bit and remove some of the initial bite.

Good price for the taste. A bit of heat at beginning then smooth finish. Nothing unique or surprising. Middle of the road.

Hard on the tongue but a smooth finish.

Cherry finish. High heat for a 90 proof

Stiff on the tongue but smooth to swallow
