Tom's Town Double Oaked Bourbon

Light, reddish-copper brown. Thin body but relatively oily legs. Rich, cereal-centric Irish whiskey nose. Plenty of vanilla. Palate is dominated by vanilla notes, strong menthol, and a relatively pervasive cocoa. Spicy cinnamon and a bit of ethanol that fades quickly on subsequent sips as the palate acclimates. A few vegetal notes come along for the ride - definite chili peppers, maybe a trace of that dill from MGP rye. Overall, hard to complain. Not perfect but perfectly drinkable at the $30 (sale) price point. The stave toasting flavor profiles they used show clear similarities to makers 46 ideology but I’m not complaining.

I was surprised. Not expecting anything from this but must say I liked the pour. Light amber color, sweet floral smell with hint of smoke thats not overpowering. Light smooth smoking oak taste, mild pepperish finish. Got it as a gift and was not expecting much but I was surprised. Its not fantastic but above expectations. Worth a try.

I get red apple on the nose with some vanilla/caramel. The initial taste is light pepper with a vanilla finish that fades quickly. I'm not getting the "double oaked" in the way I do with Woodford's double oaked. Not very complex, but very drinkable. The price ($35) matches what you get.

Pleasantly surprised. This is quite good. A hint of what I call a biscuit taste that I find in craft bourbons. A touch of heat up front mellowing to spice and vanilla and finishing with a mild licorice flavor. My one dimensional taste buds tell me that I will buy this one again.

Very interesting. Probably one of the most floral, fruity bourbons I have had. It’s super sweet so don’t misunderstand. Underneath the floral fruit is this wonderful oak spice. The finish is all creme brûlée—burnt and buttery. It’s different but I like it. Easy drinker.

The nose is a sweet bouquet of candied pecans, strawberry Twizzlers, honey, and roasted corn. The palate stands a little stiffer with oaky tannins, Mexican street corn, cinnamon, and dry red wine. The finish is warm and lingering. Cheers!
