Bourbon Review: Panther Distillery Saint Paul Rye Bourbon Whiskey

The notes of vanilla in the nose follows in the flavors in the palate with just a hint of spice. There’s a little bit of smokiness as you drink. At 84 proof, the whiskey is very smooth going down. There’s heat in the finish that quickly dissipates off the tongue, without a lot of body or mouth feel. Final Thoughts & Score Score: 75/100 This whiskey’s smooth palate makes it great for the novice whiskey drinker. While overall I found it pleasant to drink, I wouldn’t mind if it tasted a little stronger. The sweetness is the most dominating feature of this whiskey, making it difficult to discern if the smoothness is because the whiskey is well-balanced or simply light in flavor.
