The nose is amazing. I would Pepe Le Pew this bourbon clear across the bar. Great whiskey to start the month!

Strong, toasty, clean finish.

Very strong with a lot of umph at the end. Reminds me of Bookers.

It's just like I remembered.

I love it! Such complex citrus, dark fruits on the nose and on the palette. The first sip knocked me over, glad I got back up.

Nice strong start this year. Has notes of vanilla and oak, like Woodford Reserve. Good stuff!

Man this stuff is ridiculously good. Well done Umbro. A yardstick dram for sure

A real solid bourbon with a nice kick. Easy to see why this won last year.

Had this next to Four Roses and it's even better then I remember. A lot of fruit, some cinnamon, just super sweet.

Hard to guess. Seems like high proof, earthy like a rye and tastes like top shelf.

Really tasty, picking up some wine so I think it's Angel's Envy

Very smooth throughout. This could easily find a spot in my liquor cabinet.

Easy to drink with a more subtle kick at the end. Smooth every day bourbon, but nothing overly exciting about it.

Like the nose on this one. Tastes of tamarind or apricot or other bitter fruit. Finish flattens out a bit too fast for a higher proof whiskey.

Similar to myself in high school, it’s just not very mature or well-rounded. That said, it seems suited for mix in a cocktail.

Not as strong, but easy to nurse. My kind of Whisky...

No nose compared to that Elijah Craig yesterday. Very smooth dark fruit taste, not the best finish. Goes down easy, partly due to the low proof. I think this is my selection JTS Brown. Really enjoy and would drink regularly.

Interesting taste. Maybe licorice. Not my favorite.

Don’t know why I keep smelling bananas (banana pudding?) on the nose- very faint as it is. Very good bourbon.

That 🍒 taste is great, but the finish is a bit weak. Would love if it was more balanced, but a bit inconsistent.

Not enough flavor to this one. Seems a bit thin to me.

This smells and tastes so familiar. Is it Woodford? Bulleit? Knob Creek? In any case, highly enjoyable and well balanced. An easy crowd pleaser.
