Has a light sweet, creamy caramelly nose. More creamy banana on the palate initially which masks the young, green woodiness. Not very complex, but highly drinkable. Feels like a young Old Forester. Months later I'm tasting this bottle again and here are my notes... Sweet citrus on the nose, smooth corn whiskey mouth feel, and typical young barrel char on the palate with a hint of rye spice on the finish.
On the nose, strong whiff of alcohol and buttery caramel. On the tongue, much more subdued of caramel, mint and corn. Kind of like a young Old Forester as one reviewer said minus the herbal taste or a subtle Rebel Yell with a slightly better bite. Solid campfire drink.
Ok bourbon if mixing it. Bought a bottle years ago and just got around to tasting. Although I do believe the name is a misrepresentation. The creator is Jesse James Dupree, lead singer of the band Jackyl. Although he claims to be a descendent of the famous Outlaw
Jesse James Bourbon (reviewing the 2-year-aged version) has a light, chestnut color and uniform alcohol legs. The aroma is of sweet corn, and the flavor is similar, with light charred oak. Jesse James has a low-medium body and a quick-to-moderate finish. RJT
Vanilla and red berries on the nose with a hint of ethanol. On the palate it’s exceptionally light. Cornbread sweetness dominates with silky vanilla. One of the least complex whiskies I’ve had in a LONG time, but still well balanced.
Tastes like bourbon. Maybe a little peetie. Not much flavor. Was told this was cheap but good. Maybe good if the goal is to get drunk. Not good if you want a decent taste.
