I’m a huge fan of trying samples blind. You really rate things without a predefined bias. The last blind sample I had turned out to be an amazing Brora which was probably my pour of the year. This blind sample was courtesy of @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington , who sent over a generous pour. All that was mentioned on the vial was 133%, so knowing that, I had to dilute it a teaspoon of water. The color is mahogany, getting whiffs of oak and vanilla. Clearly a bourbon…and with some heft. Palette is classic bourbon…vanilla, oak, spice. Orange slices. This is as classic as you can get. It doesn’t have the weight of a Cowboy, Balcones or Booker’s, I’m guessing ECBP or a good quality MGP with some bravissimo craft label like “Young Guns” or “45mm”…something machismo. There’s a strong elegance to it too. Which makes me think 8 years at least. So…rules out Booker’s, Cowboy, or Balcones. I’m guessing ECBP. Really liking this——Okay…peeling back the label to see the sample… Down Home 12. Never heard of it…but it’s damn good quality if you like classic flavors. Thanks for the pour @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington !!
