| Purchased at: | Worcester, MA | | Purchased for: | $30 | | Info on this bottle: | Michter's US-1 Batch #4J-3 | | Nose: | Butter, butter, and more fresh churned butter. Thick and rich. Like honey dripping from a jar. Huge bourbon with a great Honey-Bee pollen nose. | | Taste: | Rounder than round... Buttered French Toast with Maple Syrup was unanimous amongst several tasters including myself. I cracked the seal and shared this bottle amongst many and we were all wide-eyed and taken back by it. Huge syrupy viscosity, incredible texture, balanced, and very creamy. Delicious and absolutely outstanding! | | Finish: | Soft and very long with lingering notes of maple and maple sugar. | | Overall: | I got lucky... it's one of the finest bottles of bourbon I've ever experienced. Later I found another bottle that saw too much sun near a window at a store. It had a sulfur and hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs) overtone, but - if you get lucky - this is one helluva bourbon. It's definitely up there in my Top-10 Best of.... BB |

| Purchased at: | On Sale At PALCB | | Purchased for: | $30.00 | | Info on this bottle: | Batch 7K-2 | | Nose: | Rather ordinary "Bourbon" nose. Nothing stands out except perhaps alcohol. Nothing special or noteworthy here. | | Taste: | Corn, very slight caramel and alcohol. Not much else. | | Finish: | Short and unremarkable. | | Overall: | This is not a Straight Kentucky Bourbon so it is probably less than 4 y/o.
Made by KBD in Bardstown, it's basically lower shelf dreck in a nice bottle. I will not be buying any more of this. |
