Augusta Old Route 8 Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon (House of Bourbon)

First sniff and yeah this one’s got some proof and it knows it. Big caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice all jump out at once like they’re fighting for attention. Smells bold and smells like I’m not stopping at one pour. First sip comes in warm then chills out real quick. Sweet caramel and vanilla up front, spice and oak right behind it. The proof adds flavor not chaos. Finish is long, warm, and absolutely invites another sip even though you probably shouldn’t. This needs a cigar that can hang. Padron 2000 Maduro or Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro. Don’t light anything weak. Bottom line, Augusta Old Route 8 Single Barrel is high proof done right. Fun, flavorful, and slightly dangerous

8 year singoe barrel 124.6 proof bottle 100 barrel 30 Nose: graham cracker, grain forward, soft marshmallow. Palette: licorice and peanut up front, not too sweet, bit sloght bubble gum notes. Nutty mid palette with slight spice. Burnt sugar finish with some grain.

This was a very good mouth feel with a lot of caramel flavor. The proof adds to the flavor. There's a dark fruit on the palate with a tobacco and oak finish.

Nose: burt brown sugar, dried fruit or grain, a little sweet Taste: oaky or toasty, spice, dried fruit or grain, a little sweet and creamy

Nice little complex pour. Oak, grain amd caramel start off the flavor with a little spice about 3/4 into it.

Seelbach's single barrel. 124.6 proof. Maple syrup. Lots of oak. Brown sugar.
