Obviously this review will be glowing.
Cost: I actually don't remember. But it was in the lower $20s
Method: Neat
Color: Pretty dark. Not like coke but like a weak tea.
Alcohol Content: 45%
Nose: Vanilla, brown sugar. Very pleasant. I smell it and I want to buy a pair of ugg boots.
Taste: This has a bit of a burn to it, no doubt. Pretty nice vanilla and a touch of sweetness.
Finish: Caramelized sugar. Vanilla but in a much lighter amount. Smoky beach wood.
Notes: I like this. It's got a very feminine sweetness to it but that classic whiskey burn. It'll put hair on your chest and take you to the prom afterwards. A lot of whiskeys are either flavorful or they are strong. This meets both criteria and has the added bonus of reminding me of fall.
What I really like about this is the vanilla notes. Bourbon has 6 rules in order to meet the standard for the bourbon label.
1) It has to be made in the United States. Like Scotch is made in Scotland Bourbon is made in the US. That's where the saying "All bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon" comes from.
2) It has to be aged in a new barrel. A lot of scotch or Irish whiskey has aged barrels that they use to age the liquor in. Bourbon has to have a fresh barrel or it's just not bourbon.
3) The whiskey has to start off in the barrel at at least 125 proof and it has to be 80 proof in the bottle.
4) After that it has to be distilled to no more than 160 proof.
5) Bourbon has to be more than 50% corn mash.
and 6) Bourbon can't have any flavor additives in the final product. Anything that's a bourbon blended with other liquors has to specify that. Which is why Bulleit Bourbon is just so good. It has all of this flavor and it's just they way they make it. They don't add vanilla to it's just awesome on its own.
I really really really really like this bourbon. 95/100. If I'm grading on a curve it's 100/100. But I'm hesitant to give out a perfect score because who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I looked up a pumpkin spice bourbon recipe and I think I'm going to try it out this weekend. I'll make a new post once it's finished. The recipe can be found here:
