Woodinville Straight Bourbon

6oz bottle provided by Cory Nose Something off, funky, like a cheesy smell. Oatmeal, Vanilla, Caramel, Mild fruit - green apples Palate Cheerios, Oak, Caramel, Kettle corn Finish Medium spice, Caramel, Oak, Leaves a cereal taste in my mouth, like plain cheerios Conclusion Better as i adjusted to the taste, but overall wasnt a huge fan. Suspect it's very young. Has some flavors going on, but nothing is particularly positive and the overall profile doesnt seem very cohesive. Would not buy a bottle. Edit: I had this following the Rittenhouse Rye, and the contrast between the two could have contributed to the negative review. Will revisit this again at some point and update my review if the experience is any different.

Nose is honey, Apple, citrus.. reminds me of banana bread. I really like to smell this:) Mouth feel is balanced, it’s spicy, then smooth, buttery, honey, lightly woody, Honey with defined oak finish, but not overwhelmingly oaky. Still warm. May be the first time I have drank this neat.. will do it again!

Toffee, caramel and tobacco are prominent. Bit of spice as you go through the taste. Good flavor, interested to compare side by side with the double barrel. After tasting, slightly strange taste on the finish that I’m not sure I love.

No bueno.
