Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Typical bourbon notes like vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar mix with juicy dark fruit—blackberry and currant. I also get a pretty strong oak note.
Palate:
Big and mouth-filling, with more fruit and caramel coming in up front. Some warm spice shows up on the mid-palate. The finish is all oak and wine, echoing the barrel it came out of. Final Thoughts: Straight Edge Bourbon is a perfectly good bourbon, with a nice balance of flavors and good texture. The wine barrel finish certainly adds something to the typical bourbon flavor profile, but there’s nothing particularly interesting or unexpected here, either. Score: 86/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF STRAIGHT EDGE BOURBON]
