Drunk and Antisocial Reviews

Color (5%):  light, amber, thinning edges again. 4/5 Nose (10%):  big corn note, brown sugar, alcohol a bit high, stewed apple, slight roast peach notes. great bourbon character. 7/10 Palate (20%):  lovely apples and pear notes. slight strawberry pop early in the taste. A bit of oiliness. a good deal of oak spice. 14/20 Finish (10%):  very long finish, much less sweet than the Alabama style. rather lingering alcohol burn. 6/10 Overall Impression and Harmony (30%):  This is a pretty rich oily bourbon. the age statement is in the range that I like.

For a bourbon, it is very rounded and clean. Not the most complex, but good. 15/20 Finish (10%): a little chocolate milk ball finish. Whoppers, or whatever brand of malt you prefer. Not a very heavy alcohol burn for 46%, well distilled. Medium duration. 8/10 Overall Impression and Harmony (30%): It's a fine whiskey, I wouldn't call it that unique or top tier in any sense. Sort of generic with a little extra-aged character. Well made and balanced, but nothing inventive. Does the job. 24/30 Retry on Ice (25%): chocolate maltiness pops a bit more. a little bit of rye spice s...
