James T. Kirk Straight Bourbon

Neat. I deleted my prior reviews. I honestly thought I was going to pour this down the drain. Something rubbed me wrong but a few weeks on the shelf opened this one up. The nose is still lacking. I get overwhelming oak but nothing else. A smooth but watery mouth feel. Immediately sugar and maple syrup hit the pallet. Taste is lots of caramel and vanilla, little pepper hiding in the back. I honestly thought I was pouring this out today and instead poured a second taste. Big lesson learned for me. Let stuff oxidize before final judgement.

For what there is, I find this a good attempt at a themed product. It’s not at all remakable, but it also isn’t dreadful. I’ll still happily take a Four Roses Small Batch or Old Forester 1920 as a regular drink straight, but this makes a perfectly respectable mixed drink ingredient for an Old Fashioned or Godfather. Maybe I’ll hold on to the bottle when it’s empty.

Had this recently. Was excited to try it being a Star Trek fan (yeah, what’s that got to do with bourbon, I get it). This was truly a bad pour. I passed the glass around to two other guys and we all agreed. Should be called Swill Trek. Beam this out of here Scotty!!

Love the bottle for a decanter but the sourced bourbon was obviously "sourced" from the worst part of the rick house. You can get MUCH better Bourbon at the same price or lower. My bottle is now filled with Knob Creek Single Barrel.

I dumped it. First bottle I ever dumped. I love the decanter though. My new infinity bottle!

Nothing really special. Just is a bourbon I would expect to be $20 to $25
