This is a reincarnation of a whiskey produced back in 1876 by the original H.E. Pogue Distillery (Kentucky Registered Distillery #3). The distillery was shut down during Prohibition, re-opened, then closed its doors again during World War II. The third time should be the charm! In 2005, descendants of the original family revived the brand and released this Old Pogue Bourbon, their flagship whiskey. While waiting for their stock to mature, they source Kentucky straight bourbon that was aged for 9 years and bottle it at 45.5% ABV. Your best bet of getting a bottle is at the distillery.

I get loads of cherry (almost cherry syrup)on the nose. This is one of the smoothest bourbons I have had. While it like some heat/bite, this is great. It’s also sweeter than what I typically go for. Lots of vanilla and cherry. There’s some cherry Garcia vibes. This a little cinnamon later on and very mild oak for 9 years.
Nose- Sweet grass and grain. Reminds me of Irish whiskey. Body- really easy on the tongue with vanilla and honeysuckle following by grass and raw peanuts. Finish- the grass continues into a hint of lemon zest. Very good!
What a bourbon should be! Very nice vanilla and caramel notes accompanied with the drier oak and tobacco flavors. The finish is a nice lengthy vanilla, oak and leather harmony. A pure pleasure to sip.
Nose: Caramel and cherry Palate: Pepper followed by vanilla, spice and then sweet corn and caramel. Overall: well balanced, not too complex. Great bourbon, but wouldn’t may more than $40.
Very classic, well made bourbon, especially for a craft distillery, very expensive though. Not worth $100
Sweet front notes and only a burn in the back of the throat. Comparable to Blantons I would say.
