This is interesting.. a slight bacon fat note but an odd smokiness to the finish.. I dont find it too sweet like many reviews.. a decent base bourbon behind the smoky flavors.. more of a novelty and probably not something I would buy another bottle of but it was good enough
Ol' Major Bacon Bourbon
About this bottle
What else could be more American than apple pie? Bacon and bourbon. And it only took this long for someone to combine the two. Released in April 2016 by Branded Spirits USA, this bourbon is flavored with bacon using a "proprietary process of pressure infusion." It's bottled at 35% ABV.

There's a smokey, sweetness that's exactly what I was looking for. Not an overpowering bacon flavor, but I get those notes. All-in-all, a fun cocktail liquor, and sort of a must have for fun, but a little bit different mixed drinks.
Ol' Major Bacon Bourbon.. I don't love the name... the drink though.. first tried it in a bar a while back, loved it. Bought a bottle and made my own Bacon Old Fashioneds. DELICIOUS!
Really disappointing. Not much bacon on the nose. None on the palate or finish. It’s somewhat sweet and oily with a bitter finish.
Don't smell or taste bacon. Not smokey or salty. Very sweet and its own category, similar to 43
It's become a staple at our house for in-home happy hour (which is any hour of any day. Haha).
