Re taste: Nose is minty, fruity (candy-runts), some vanilla and toasted oak. Taste follows suit with the nose. Certainly some younger notes, but not off putting, more green apple, hay, corn flakes. Quicker finish, but has a nice hug in the back of your throat. Overall, very nice. Love the story. Either the bourbon has opened up or my palate has changed since the last tasting when it first came out.

I was pleasantly surprised with this celebrity Bourbon. This isn’t just a novelty, it’s a decent proof at a fair price that drinks easy. I found the nose to have some dark fruit aroma, perhaps even plum. The flavor brings plenty of vanilla with with some barrel & baking spice in the finish. There is only minimal heat at the end and it does not drink like a 100+ proof.
A decent young bourbon. Is a bit bitey but big notes of dusty peanut and citrus. Take the burn out with some water. A few more years in the barrel would have been very interesting. Maybe even Old Grandad territory. Bardstown bought out Green River so it's unknown what will happen to this bottling in the future.
Ill have to save this for mixed drinks which I dont do. This has nothing much going on. I can think of at least a half a dozen 20 dollars and under selection that i would rather drink than this one. In my opinion, it's not much better than some white dog. And as always had it neat.
Rather bland, weak and boring. Felt like more of a gimmick than it did a quality spirit (Terry Bradshaw, 51.9% career pass completion/ 51.9% ABV, etc). Could have used 12 year age length like his jersey number.
On second tasting, I don't like this quite as much as I did before. It does have a delicious peanut-caramel flavor (like a Snickers bar?) But it's not as smooth as I remembered- quite a bit of ethanol burn.
