Look - dark gold like caramel popcorn Smell - a fruity smell that goes sweet to a caramel with a lil burn smell at the end Taste - that smoke that is sweetened to a dark carmelized salty tingle. I think it's the high alcohol % Finish - Doesn't have much but a honey sweet end that is quick. Overall - A good 1 to sip and enjoy not much of a kick for the high alcohol but does well in the flavors Cheers Live Life Happy
About this bottle
Boondocks is an American whiskey out of Bardstown, Kentucky with a high-corn mash bill. While the ingredients are similar to bourbon, it is referred to as "American Whiskey" since it is aged in American oak which previously held whiskey rather than new charred oak as is required for bourbon. This version is bottled from the cask at 127 proof.

Super sweet on the nose. Candy-like. Super smooth on the tongue, for 127 proof it doesn’t act like it at all. Taste is interesting and you can notice the lack of oak (this is aged in used barrels). Goes down easy with a touch of alcohol to remind you it’s power.
Sweet smell to start. I catch vanilla bean and caramel. Very smooth and light on the burn. I taste exactly what I smelled however, I also noted a bit of my favorite pipe tobacco. Nice small burn to finish out this whiskey.
Pretty good- definitely soft and rich in flavor. There is sort of a raw chewy oak tang that throws the palette a bit off for me though. Mixed with the maple edge, its just not my style.
Lot of Vanilla. This is a bottle I will always keep on the shelf. Very easy drinking for the proof
Had quite a bit of heat neat. Much better with a rock though
