Wathen's Single Barrel Bourbon

Thin and has a weird flavor. Do not buy

At three stars, I feel like I have to lead by stating that this is not a bad bourbon by any means. It's actually quite easy to drink - deceptively smooth for 94 proof, light (almost refreshing, even), with a sweet vanilla and caramel corn profile, lightly dusted with some baking spices. And...that's about it, and that's the issue. Imagine you're out on a date with someone who is nice enough, and kinda cute, even...but has zero personality. Are you going out on a second date? Yeah, me neither. THAT'S this bourbon's fault - it's just kinda nice. You can do worse, but you can also do so much better.

Good. A little oaky
