Kentucky Vintage Whiskey

I really love this bourbon. It is nice on it's own or in cocktails or ginger ale.

Always trying random bourbons from the local hole in the wall liquor store. This one was covered in dust and the cap took Vice Grips to open, which just added to it’s mystique. I was already optimistic for a $28 bottle, however it exceeded my expectations. Sweet, but not syrupy, bright but not uncomfortable. New favorite go to.

A mellow bourbon with a sweet, corn nose, and an unusually bright and sweet banana/vanilla flavour distinct from many spicier, more oak-driven flavour of many bourbons. Not especially strongly flavoured, which allows sour flavours to come through without overpowering.

Been getting into bourbons for a while now and tried this recently - not as spicy imo as, say, WT 101 and definitely more caramel than others I've tried too e.g. WR. I agree about the bonfire toffee and buttery notes above but only get a mild spice kick here with some smoky notes on the finish, which is med to long. Nicely balanced but with quite a thin mouth feel, definitely gets better the longer it sits. Fine neat or with a few small drops of water.

The screw-cap was all stuck down on opening and I had to prize it free with a knife which was a tad irritating - but hey I 'aint drinking that . . .

So is this the same product as the other version, except in a 75cl bottle? If so, why is this one cheaper? x

If it is, then buy. And yes, amazing as an old fashioned. Andy Mc
