On the nose, I get minty, sweet, strawberry, brown sugar - overall the nose is pretty mild though. I'm guessing this is under 50% ABV. The taste is cherry, sweet, some pepper, pretty good overall, and I'm guessing a bourbon.
The finish has cherry and some oak. It's medium in length. I added some water and the nose is more fruity, the taste is more sweet, the finish is more peppery and probably has more wood too. Overall this is pretty good, I'd rate it a 3.5/5.0 - it tastes a step above 'budget' bourbon. Tonight, we were drinking ...
Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey, 46.5% ABV, no age statement, but reported to be around 7 Year. Distilled (for now?) at Nearest Green Distillery, Shelbyville, TN. I picked up for a bit under $50 - similar to price as the Wild Turkey 70th we had on night one. I probably like the Wild Turkey more, but would have to compare them in a blind tasting sometime.
