Taste: 2 oz neat in Glen Cairn. This is Kenwood Liquors Private Barrel. 101 proof NAS, straight bourbon SiB. Nose: Corn pudding, vanilla, ethanol. It is a younger nose that has promise to it. Not complex, but nicely done. Palate- Cream corn, vanilla pudding, and a bit of caramel. Creamed corne dominates. The mouthfeel is thicker, but in a grainy way. I don't hate it, just know that it is younger whiskey that needs more time in the barrel. The thick viscosity is both welcomed and objected to. At times it is mashy, at others it coats superbly. Jury is out for me Finish: Surprisingly long, it is full, hearty, and filli g with a lingering sweet corn note. I am not against it, but it tells me that this might be a bot rushed. Overall: Better than what I anticipated. Heavily corn forward on the palate, and propped up with a thick viscosoty, barley backbone. My impressions are that this at 8-10 years could bark with big dogs. For now, it is ho-hum sweeter corn malted whiskey.
