Doc Swinson's 5 Year Old "Session Blend" Straight Bourbon Whiskey
$38

A dash of water livens up the flavors, bringing out sandalwood, dried autumn leaves, and black tea served with a side of buttery caramel. this is very
smooth and would make an excellent mixer. it lacks for complexity but, as a charming, inoffensive whiskey, this works great as a mixer or even on its own.

On the palate, this whiskey is a touch muted. textural-wise, it has an oily, moderate body with a prickly feel from the alcohol. the aromatics are subtle, and remind me of old gum. it?s mild and mellow with a note of charcoal and burnt marshmallow that makes me think of tennessee whiskey.
The aromas lean towards fruit and spice with a whiff of cider vinegar. i smell notes of candied red apples, sour cherries, and dried lime zest for fruit. the spice note reminds me of clove gum. there?s a touch of soapiness and the nose is faintly sour. it?s an odd mix of aromatics that doesn?t seem cohesive.
The short finish leaves a suggestion of sugar cookies.
