Bourbon Review: Dime Box Distillery Sixth Street Bourbon

The first mouthful is a bit of a surprise, considering how light the nose is. Coming on quite sharp, it hits you with flavors of dandelion, honey, and dark, dark chocolate, fading away to an aftertaste of warm leather with a lingering back-of-the-tongue rosemary bitterness. A splash of water opens up that honey flavor, while softening the initial blow. The lingering bitterness remains, however. Final Thoughts & Score: Score: 68/100 The bitterness that lingers on with this bourbon really put a dent to my final score. The nose is quite lovely, and the bottle design (duplicitous back story aside) is actually kind of charming! But I finished my glass not because I loved the taste… but only because I’m loath to waste it. At $55, the price is a bit steep for what you get. But hey, at least you get a free guitar pick, right?
