It's taken me a while to review this one - I didn't realize I'd not reviewed it yet, and then the last time I tried, something messed up my palate so that it didn't taste right. But here I am.
This bourbon has a mash bill of 73% corn, 19% rye, and 8% barley. It's 90 proof, has no age statement, and cost me $49.99 at the Kelly Liquors store in the Mountain Run shopping center. It's a nice copper color in the glass.
NOSE: Smoky butterscotch, butter, and something that reminds me of a summer forest - not conifers, but deciduous trees.
MOUTHFEEL: Smooth.
TASTE: Honey, a little cinnamon, and a very faint hint of oak.
FINISH: Spicy oak, which fades out into red pepper. The finish is medium long.
SUMMARY: This whisky is better than the tasting notes might indicate. When I'm not writing a review I seem to get more from the whisky. The rating below will give you a better idea of how good this stuff is.
RATING: On my hick scale this earns a 7, Right Fine, which is next to the highest
rating I can give. It's equivalent to 4.375 stars, 87.5/100, or 8.75/10.
