Old Fitzgerald Bourbon Tasting Notes

Nose

An enjoyable swirl of honey, vanilla, and oak notes. Easy on the nose thanks to additional hints of candy corn and sugar cookies. Overall on the lighter side with a shallow depth of scents. Absent of any harshness.

Finish

What can best be described as a “dry heat” envelopes your mouth in the finish. The oak notes and notable burn combine to leave a rather flat and dry aftertaste.

Palate

The bourbon’s slight buttery mouthfeel acts as a enjoyable welcoming agent. It’s immediately evident that oak is the most dominant flavor.
