Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
There is a classic charred oak aroma with hints of vanilla and orange spice. The smell of sawdust and wood comes through heavily.
Palate:
The first tastes are smooth and sweet, characteristic of a typical wheated bourbon. Pecan pie and pie crust tastes shine through. As you continue to drink, the bourbon morphs with bolder flavor. It has a long warm spicy finish with pepper and cinnamon flavors.
Finish:
Comments:
With Luxco’s focus on growth and changing annual releases, I’m definitely going to keep my eyes on these folks. I’m refreshing my view of Rebel Yell as they are evolving.rnrnThis is a great classic wheated bourbon with evolvolving flavors. However, there are a lot of other tasty wheated whiskies out there for lower prices. Personally, I think the price is a bit high for what it is. There is something about that $50 line with bourbon where I expect more. For the wheated bourbon fans it’s worth checking out.
