Grayson Texas Blended Bourbon

much improved after coming back to this after a few months N: Raw honey, light brown sugar, leaf tobacco/leather oil; old oak, black tea and clove, orange zest, cocoa P: mild sweetness starts with honey smoothly into oak, cinnamon and leather, and light brown sugar - spice remains and lingers just a little too much, orange zest arrives at the end, medium rich viscosity, long finish Blend tastes mature with no sharp edges, was not impressed with the first few tastes but much better afterward, upgraded the score

Good nose. Great collaboration. Nice smooth start and a little spice at the end. Got to taste in distillery before release. Now have my own bottle and it is just as good.

Really nice upon first open & taste. Can be mixed or straight. The longer you have the bottle, the heat/ spice intensifies. Good for mixed drinks only.
