Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed
October 6, 2017 (edited October 21, 2019)
Nose - Sweet vanilla caramel, creme brulee browned sugar topping, light toasted oak, sugar coated brioche.
Taste - Dark caramels, cinnamon spice heat, vanilla brown simple, light oak bitterness.
Finish - Lingering cinnamon spice, heavy vanilla brown sugar simple with a tinge of green sapling bitterness.
Score - 87/100
Final Thoughts - This was a bit surprising to me as I liked it a bit more than I thought I would. It's not very complex and I would say that it's what you think a generic bourbon would taste like, but turned up a notch due to the proof. Not too complex, nothing really offensive, just a higher proof generic "bourbon." This almost tastes like Russell's Reserve 10 if it was 100 proof.
