Good way to relax this evening
Last time I had this bottle I wasn’t too impressed. It was astringent, hot and a bit thin. This time around I’m getting much less ethanol. Sweet sugar nose I can feel a cavity forming just by nosing this. Sour apple on the nose.
Ohh yess this is exactly why I don’t judge a bourbon by the first pour. Is bottle has opened up enormously and not that ethanol and heat isn’t blowing out my tastebuds I’m able to get the nuanced flavors behind the proof. Still a bit thin finish and a Kentucky huh at the end but delicate sweetness in the palate. Like when you add sugar and strawberries. Or Honey Nut Cheerios with sugar on top.

Christmas cocktail:
Bourbon of your choice- I used woodinville this time but peanut butter whiskey is also a perfect option. Blend together with ice cream (chocolate here), chocolate syrup, milk, and some extra bourbon as well at the end

The lazy man’s old fashioned if you are ever in a pinch, hosting, or don’t want to mix one up yourself. Honestly decent option when in a pinch
Peanut butter/cookie butter on the nose. Rich vanilla and caramel. Oh man I’m getting leather and tobacco as well. One of the best noses of any bourbon. No ethanol.
Tobacco, leather and dark oak on the palate. Such an amazing flavor. A perfect contrast to the Buffalo Trace sweetness. Such a great bottle and one of my favorites.

A Midwinter Nights Dram Act 11 Scene 9 I’m really enjoying this pour. Picked up Act 12 Scene 7 a few days ago and can’t wait to pop the cork on it.
