FEW Smashing Pumpkins Bourbon

Visually, it presented a pleasant amber hue. The aroma was distinctive, disarming with its abundance of rose, floral, and herbal tea scents. All the enjoyment from the nearly perfect nose vanished during what felt like an endless finish. The taste lacked balance, dominated by alcohol and a unique, yet expected, flavor profile from the heavy floral and tea notes. I'd prefer an earl gray or gold. I wouldn't score this a zero. Sadly, this just wasn't to my liking today.

Smells like fresh bourbon. Smells like paper and sawdust. Pleasant buttery flavor. Dry finish with a hint of wasabi.

This one offers a distinct flavor profile from the tea barrel. It's quite pleasant and smooth.

Very good
