Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Color: deep golden brown, almost opaque
Legs: These things form at the very brim of the line and unexpectedly slow, but once they group (relatively far apart), they take off like the dickens
Nose: for being such a high proof, it's ultra sweet, lots of oak, butterscotch and some chocolate. it's hard to keep the nose in too long as the proof burns with anything deep or long
First Sip: it's like drinking carmel syrup, if you let it rolls around the front, it doesn't burn much. as it rolls to the back, a little bit of the oak and floral notes come through
Taste: It's incredibly sweet and oaky for a really high proof. It's so smooth though that it's incredibly dangerous. Yes you can tell the proof but it's not overpowering.
Finish: slight burn on the first taste or two going down but the residual flavors urge and crave you to do it again. some vanilla still on the tongue with a hint of butterscotch.
For the price/value and the proof and the taste, I'm not sure it gets much better than this.

Nice review. ECBP is definitely a fave, and fortunately, not too hard to find
