Bourbon Bourbon binds the brilliance of bourbon and bourbon biscuits beautifully. Triumphs of alliteration aside, this fantastic expression features Kentucky bourbon infused with actual, full-on, real bourbon biscuits, and blended with dark chocolate and vanilla to accentuate those familiar flavours from the eponymous biscuits (and you could say they appear in the eponymous bourbon too, I suppose). Wonderfully satisfying sipped neat, and more than capable of putting a chocolatey twist on classic cocktails, like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. Not only is it tasty, it's also a great example of a heteronym! Bonus.
Earthy vanilla and runny caramel, with a core of chocolate ganache underneath. There's still plenty of oaky spices and buttery notes from the bourbon coming through.
Cacao, another helping of authentic vanilla, a hint of orange developing shortly joined by malt and more chocolate.
Bourbon biscuit sweetness on the finish, with a touch of buttered corn and toasted oak.
There's clearly a focus on the chocolatey, biscuity notes, but the bourbon's character is never obscured and remains integral to the fantastic flavour profile.

Really not sure what to make of this... It definitely feels a bit gimmicky to me, I can't get past the sickly chocolate biscuit taste, and then a little spice as after taste. I really wanted to like this cos I like bourbon biscuits and a good bourbon. But the two together are just too much!
I've been very pleasantly surprised by this. I thought I'd try it but was expecting a bit of an artificial taste (as you sometimes get with "flavoured" spirits). I couldn't have been more wrong. Its a full Bourbon up front, plenty of Caramel and Oak. Just after you've swallowed it though, is a lovely taste of a Bourbon biscuit! It's definitely on the sweeter side, but if you like Bourbon, chocolate and Bourbon biscuit then it's a very clever drink.
Really, really good whiskey - at full strength - with added yummy and chocolate. What’s not to like.
Why am I only just finding out this exists?! 2 bottles ordered. Will report back.
