Ghost Coast Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Tasted at their distillery. The nose offers pleasant notes of honey and oak. The flavors are good, with some sweetness I can't quite identify (apologies, my sense of smell isn't great). The finish is brief, too brief. It's a decent bourbon, certainly suitable as a bar pour, but not a bottle purchase in my opinion. I tried the new bottled-in-bond, which they called Birthday Bourbon, and I enjoyed that more than the regular bourbon.

The aroma presents sugar, mustiness, and grain. On the palate, it's light with little substance. The finish is so brief it's difficult to discern flavors, but there's a hint of ethanol before it vanishes. It resembles heavily diluted MGP spirits.

Found this excellent, a mild blend of smoke and spice that isn't too intense. A bit common, but I'm completely okay with that.

Sweet vanilla and toffee on the nose, followed by a corn-forward spicy taste that softens into a smooth finish.

Lacks significant flavor. However, considering its higher proof, it's not too shabby!

Mildly vanilla with a citrus aroma and finish.
