Had yesterday so going from memory:
N: strong, can almost smell it from a few feet away. Typically bourbon vanilla and caramel with some alcoholic burn mingling
P: unexpectedly light and floral. Rosey taste with some more scotch like notes. Probably some placebo effect going on but in some ways reminds me of an ocean breeze.
F: the light, breezy, floral notes evolve into more classic bourbon notes of vanilla and caramel, more in line with what the nose would suggest.
Overall: I’m sure there were more complexities, but hard to recall the day after. Overall this is a good bourbon, but the rating comes in lower because it’s not what I personally would look for in a bourbon. Could probably garnish a 3-3.5 based on novelty and decent flavors/complexity. I wouldn’t seek out a bottle myself, but would buy a glass for the right price
0-1.5: Disgusting. Worth only mixing or meeting the drain.
2: Bad. Drinkable, but majorly flawed
2.5: Sub-par. OK, but bland or somewhat flawed.
3: Good. Decent stuff, but I won’t be rushing to buy it
3.5: Very good. I’d love to keep a bottle around
4: Excellent. I would like to own a case. A go to for me that is worthy of celebrating
4.5: Incredible.Truly high end, elite level, very noteworthy
5: Sublime. Nearly perfect and an all time favorite
