This was a private barrel from Olde Crabapple bottle shop. My first thought when trying this bourbon was that it was lighter in color. After a google search I found out that this is aged in a char 3 barrel where the majority of bourbons I drink are char 4. Something else for me to learn about :). This is a very good smelling bourbon with a fruity, floral smell. Smooth, vanilla notes with just a slight burn. Not as much body or syrupy feel as I’d prefer. Good for the price. Would like to try this with some more aging.
