My second Bourbon. It is waaaaaay better than Jim Beam white label. Now that i got that out of my system, i can tell you, it is a fair dram, nothing too special. A little complex maybe, a solid 3.5 out of 5.
bottled at 45%abv, with a polished Mahogany Color.
On the Nose you will find citrus fruit notes, like grapes, plums, prunes, and lemon. There is something stinky here i dont know what it is, i read someone said "glue", i just dont know what it is. Sometimes it brings back memories from the standard Jack Daniels Old No.7, has the same nose profile, with a little toffee and vanilla if you give it a couple more tries on the nose.
On the palate is a changing dram, starts sweet like caramel, inmediately turns hot and spicy, oak and oranges appear to make a bitter finish, which is medium. It is light-medium bodied, and if you add two drops of water it will became chewable with an only candy note on the palate.
I believe i am not a great bourbon drinker yet, but i am still thinking this are way inferior to scotch single malts, I have also an Elijah Craig Small Batch, a Blanton's single barrel and a Makers mark 46 waiting to be opened; maybe i will have better luck on those. One other thing, i haven't add Coca Cola on this, but it seems it would fit right on it. In the future i'll give it a try.
