Leopold Bros. 5 Year Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon

You definitely pick up the malted barley in the mashbill in both the nose and the taste. It has a fresh grassy flavor in a good way along with a lot of the standard Bourbon notes. It is doing something different though in a mashbill I've never seen before with 20% malted barley being the second grain. I like when there's a Bourbon that does something different because so many of them offer very similar notes on the palate and this one did not disappoint. Cheers!

Grass, malted grains, bread, yeast. Remind me of the westland asm. Just raw and wonderful. Not just boring caramel, vanilla, oak one dimensional bourbon notes. Its focused on the mashbill and not just the barrel like most american whiskeys. Lovely.

Light corn and honey in the nose with some alcohol heat. Body is thin, flavors matching the aroma with maybe some light apricot and some lingering alcohol burn in the upper palate and a gentle warming in the chest.

Tasting neat: Nose offers honey dew, dried vanilla and slight allspice with fragrant wood and apricot. Palate bring chatted wood and butterscotch, with slight savory meat and honey. Finish is hot and long.

Nose: Subtle vanilla, oak Palate: Flavorful, pear, followed by baking spices Finish: Moderate, smooth, spicy at end. Overall very enjoyable. I would buy it again.

Mashed grains aroma. Candied rye. Mint gum and lime pith. Buttery. Spiced, warmth in the finish.
