Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
That sweet oak comes through immediately as toasted marshmallow and burnt sugar, followed but a refreshing bit of tree nuts (peanuts), cilantro, and fresh grass.
Palate:
Initial jammy fruit on the tongue like plum and cherries, mid-palate bite of black pepper, anise, fennel, and ends with bright acidity. Conclusion: Another reviewer talks about the regular Bulleit Bourbon as a gateway bourbon – your first boyfriend who still has a place in your heart. If that’s the case, this is sort of like your first time boyfriend returning after a year abroad, suddenly more complex and developed, very smooth – you’d have to try this next evolution of him… or rather, it. FINAL SCORE: 92/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF BULLEIT BOURBON BARREL STRENGTH]
