All tasting notes
Menthol, black pepper and lemon peel. Horseradish - which I also smell on their rye whisky. This bourbon also has a fair amount of rye in it which makes some sense.
Taste:
Intense and savoury arrival. Spicy oak, some citrus still showing through. Hot grated fresh ginger.
Finish:
Medium length, peppery and oaky, quite dry.
Comment:
I got a bottle of this after trying their straight rye release. I think of the two this is definitely the one I would go back to. It is very intense throughout and has the same horseradish component all the way through (particularly on the nose). I'm not sure if this is something which comes predominantly from the rye or if it's distillery character showing through but I haven't come across it in other bourbons. yet. Not sure if I prefer it over scotch, but it definitely has its charms, and is well priced for the quality of spirit.
Taste: some cardboard, some , some paper glue, hints of
Finish: Short, bitter, dry, , cacao
Comment:
To be clear I am not a burbon fun but this one is good enough to buy a bottle!
definitely in the best buy range.
if you don't like it straight, try with coke (sour notes come into play) of in the cocktail
