A brill bourbon from Bowsaw! This expression brings together three types of grains - 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley. The result is an excellently creamy whiskey packed full of vanilla and honey notes. Plus, handsome bottle on this one too. Always a treat.
Toasted oak stave, fresh vanilla and a hint of toffee.
Crumbly fudge, black pepper, liquorice and lemon.
Biscuity, with caramel and more vanilla.
Please don't pay too much attention to reviews saying this isn't bourbon. Bowsaw make three main products: "Whiskey", "Bourbon" and "Rye". This is the one they call "Bourbon". Because it's bourbon.
In America it's sold as WHISKEY but for export they replace the neck label so show it as Bourbon - but it's not. They can get away with calling it Bourbon outside the USA because there's no legal definition for Bourbon outside the USA. Check the Bowsaw website. Still a half decent Whiskey though.
Second time round now and still no improvement. It’s still as good as the first. Good quality bourbon for the price and it’s from Kentucky!
