First, this not a typical bourbon profile. This may be one of those times where I like this more as a rum or brandy drinker than I do as a bourbon drinker. It's often hard for me to separate those approaches to tasting. Also, I have to admit, there is something slightly off about it, like there is a bad bourbon hiding somewhere in there, but they did a good job of masking it. The nose is corn and fruit, but not standard corn. The corn profile reminds me of a super sweet summer corn, like the kind you eat on the cob fresh off the grill, slightly charred, rubbed with a little salt sugar and butter. There's also a ton of vanilla in the nose, in an almost rum-like way Drinks slightly young and very corn forward, but there is a nice subtle bite immediately. Some bitter char, a lot of brandy-esque raisin and prunes, vanilla, Belgian sugar, and a touch of chardonnay all blend together in a low-burn, lower proof package. This doesn't blow my mind, but I'm surprised I don't hate it. This isn't a rave, btw. More like 3/5 compared to 1.5/5 from everyone else. A few things to be suspicious of though. It's not straight bourbon whiskey, so it could be blended. Alternatively, it says aged and minimum of 6 months, so it could just have a lot of really young stock. Who knows
