John Lee - Personal Reserve | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

NOSE:
This is mild and sweet. At first it’s very ”grainy” and the distillate is very pronounced. When the flavours start to come through it’s vanilla, toffee and dusty corn together with honey and a thin fruity note.

TASTE:
It starts out very watery and it takes a few seconds before any flavour come through. Grain sweetness and vanilla create a baseline with a tiny dusty corn note and a tiny hint of cherries above. A small spicyness build up over time and a small hint of anise lies on top. A honey note is in there as well.

FINISH:
Once again honey and vanilla appear but the whole thing is still very thin. The oak do make an appearance in the finish. The tiny cherry note is somewhat noticable in the late finish.
