Branch & Barrel

Another Colorado bourbon on my Colorado trip. When in Rome… Appearance: pale yellow, thin legs Nose: hay and butter. There’s something kind of reminiscent of wood glue, but it’s not unpleasant. First sip neat: grass and corn. This is not a sweet bourbon. A hint of black pepper. With water: the grassiness is more pronounced, but is more hay-like. Finish: short, a little spicy Not my favorite, but I prefer sweeter bourbons in general. I think beer drinkers would like this one.

This whiskey has a nice gold color with semi-thin oily legs. The nose comes off a bit young. There are notes present of caramel, grapes, and a grassiness; pretty simple. The mouthfeel is thin. And notes of red apple, alcohol, and honey predominate the simple palate. The finish is bitey and slightly sour and medium in length. Cheers!

Nose - dried fruit and floral notes, red apple, deep honey, butterscotch syrup, and a bit of spice Taste - spice and barrel tannins, some caramel and apple juice, with a bit of honey and vanilla Finish - dry, warm, with some sweetness and a bit of lingering spice

This whiskey is a pale/yellow gold color. Nose- Vanilla, Corn, Butter, Floral Palate- Buttered sweet corn, caramel apple and honey Finish- very smooth with a slight rush of heat & spice.

Lightly fruity, very spicy, warm, oily, rich, intense with a subtle aftertaste.

Coffee notes not overpowering.
