Tim Smith Southern Reserve Bourbon

Initial tasting was not as bad as most reviews come across, however after multiple tastes this whiskey did not age well at all. Initial nose was very astringent and resembled high alcohol content with minimal age. The 24 hour age bleeds into a quick pour, however with a slower pour the flavors seem to pick up a notch. On small sips, you can taste the leather and smoke but with anything more than a lipfull there is clear pure rubbing alcohol to this bottle. This is additionally a clear representation of the finish, which also requires small sips to be good as well. Anything else and this bottle will lack flavor and profile, stick with small tasting sips all the way.

High taste of moonshine followed by an off acetone. Slightly sickly sweet. For the price point there are much much better bourbons. I picked this up thinking it would be at least decent. It is not. I should have read the fine print on the back that says it has only been aged 24 hours.

Yeasty aroma reminiscent of Elmers glue paste from elementary school. Heavy on the corn. Burn sticks around a little while. Probably will not revisit. And correct, it does say only aged for 24 hours on the back of the bottle. If you are an overall officionado, this one’s for you.

The fragrance when you open the bottle is of yeast and fermenting mash. This is your first warning. Poured into a glass, it has the appearance of a cloudy watered down lemonade. This is strike 2. It’s taste has a base flavor of moonshine and yeast. Strike 3.

Its not terrible considering its 24 hour wood fired moonshine. Resembles a really boring bourbon that tastes watered down. Its overpriced at its msrp.. for the $15 I paid it was ok. Not a repurchase

Nose: apple, pear, cherries and oak Taste: thin and simple. Fruit and leather with a little butterscotch at the end Finish: dry and medicinal. Like a grape cough syrup
