Bird Dog 10 Year Very Small Batch Bourbon (German Shorthaired Pointer)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed
June 25, 2018
Nose - Sweet vanilla, caramel, hint of oaky simple, light fresh cherry/strawberry notes.
Taste - Sweet oaky vanilla, caramel, light cinnamon burn, light green oak sapling bitterness throughout, fairly thin mouthfeel.
Finish - Lingering cinnamon tingle, sweet vanilla caramel simple syrup, light green sapling bitterness lingers.
Score - 77/100
Final Thoughts - This one had a pleasant nose and very typical bourbon notes. I think this would have done a bit better if it hadn't been for this odd lightly off-putting notes of a bitter green sapling like bitterness I got throughout on the palate & finish that I didn't get in the nose. Not too bad overall, but the bitterness throws it a bit off balance and is just distracting enough.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - No
Would I buy a bottle? - Not another one
