Review from sailor22 (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1665, Created:20090827222540) | Purchased at: | little store in Georgia | | Purchased for: | $9 | | Info on this bottle: | dusty '81 bottle | | Nose: | Some light alcohol at first then wet rye and brown sugar play over a low oak note. | | Taste: | less sweet than the nose promises with some spice at the mid palate fading quickly to a corn sweetness that isn't particularly deep or complex. | | Finish: | a satisfying long lasting warm finish that moves from corn sweet to a subtle sweet anise - no alcohol burn to speak of just a pleasant sweet warmth | | Overall: | I was underwhelmed with the first pour but at every subsequent pour it showed me something new and entertaining. A balanced easy drinking kind of Bourbon. It really doesn't do anything wrong and it's finish seems to always invite another sip. |

Review from spun_cookie (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1228, Created:20080808195652, Updated:20090527161635) | Purchased at: | | | Info on this bottle: | This is the Old Charter 10yr from 1992 | | Nose: | Leather and old wet oak. Some dry vanilla, little light machined aluminum to it. Some apricot, and candy apple | | Taste: | Crab apples, vanilla, age??? bottle has been around a while???. Some oak and leather | | Finish: | Vanilla and cream. ??? the finish is better as time goes on??? little light burn??? (86 proof and all) | | Overall: | Good bourbon, not great. For $15 a bottle, nothing to scoff at. You can tell it spent some time in aluminum tanks. Not too much, but more than you would want all the time |

Review from JoeBourbon (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 297, Created:20051021100111, Updated:20090527161706) | Purchased at: | Midtown Liquors, Nashville Tennessee | | Purchased for: | 22.00 | | Info on this bottle: | Old Charter Louisville 10 Year Old Decanter from the 80's | | Nose: | Somewhat alcoholic initially. Needs time. Hints of rye spice. Alcohol subsides in subsequent pours. | | Taste: | Alcohol subsides. Not overpowering. Nice somewhat spicy component. Nice mouth feel. Not overly complex but balanced. | | Finish: | Medium length finish. Subtle sweetness on the finish. | | Overall: | Good bourbon --- not top shelf --- but very nice. |

Review from bourbonv (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 71) | Purchased at: | Acquired as one of several from United Distillers employee benefit | | Info on this bottle: | Standard U.S. Market version | | Proof Of this Bottle: | 86 | | Nose: | Sweet caramel corn candy with medium oak. Slightly floral - roses maybe. | | Taste: | Cool with no alcohol burn. Very sweet vanilla and corn with oak heading into the finish. What is suprising is the lack of rye spiciness. | | Finish: | Sweet corn with oak and leather. It is long lasting and pleasant | | Overall: | A good bourbon for any occasion. Aged in brick warehouses, this bourbon does not have the barrel characteristics of a ten year old bourbon from other distilleries. This makes for a pleasant mixture of grain flavor (corn) and oak. |
