Kinsey Bourbon 4 Year

This is showing to be a little on the shy side. Presents itself a lot like a traditional highland scotch whisky. 51% corn and 49% malt mash bill, and honestly, the barley really stands out. On the nose, orange fruit, corn meal, honeycomb cereal, vanilla cream, buttered English muffin, light brown sugar, ginger, herbal tea, furniture polish, and some interesting grass notes. Palate is actually dominated by barrel spice, given it’s a 4-year, and you’re left with a slight bitterness on the finish. Easy to understand and a nice change up to your Kentucky monsters. Highly likely to be sourced from MGP.

I rather liked this bourbon and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and honey like it was. It's not complex at all. If anything, it's smooth throughout, with classic honey-like bourbon notes, with little revealed on the nose or finish. In many ways, it's maybe as good as Blanton's. I doubt I would buy a bottle myself, but I wasn't disappointed when this was the best option I had at a recent bar. I'm curious what this would be like at a higher proof.

Color: Bright Orange Gold Nose: Brown Sugar, candy apple, honey, orange zest, baking spices, and some floral notes. Palate: Cinnamon spice, oak, vanilla, orange, and delayed peppery notes just before the finish. Finish: Long and spicy, oak, vanilla, toffee, and some floral notes.

Had this awhile back (bought on sale for under $20). Kind of a fruity bourbon with some distinct floral notes. Nothing incredibly special for me, but definitely a solid pour. I wouldn't seek this out specifically, but if I find it for a good value I'll definitely bite again!

Being aged only 4 years, it’s missing the vanilla and tobacco and smoothness that I love about bourbon. It’s ok. Finishes kind of rough. I wouldn’t recommend for extended sipping situations

Very strong alcohol nose. Taste is sweet at the start (definitely vanilla). Spicy and pepper at the finish. Not bad for a Pennsylvania bourbon
