Great Northern Wisconsin Whiskey "Old Guard" Neimuth's Store Pick
Bourbon — Plover, Wisconsin, USA

Nose: starts with some brown sugar that quickly opens up into bazooka joe bubble gum, which quickly becomes the only thing I can smell. As part of the gum, there is an undercurrent of strawberry and banana and a whiff of black pepper. The longer this sits in the glass, the more banana I get from the nose.
Taste: mirrors the nose but develops into banana cream pie with a spicy finish full of clove and a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. Something about this evokes a German hefeweizen.
It shares similarities with IW Harper, but better without a doubt. At the end of the day, it's not my favorite flavor profile, but it's certainly interesting and admirable for such a young bourbon from a craft distillery
