Giant Small Batch Bourbon 95 Proof

This robust Bourbon Whiskey from Gulf Coast Distillers, developed with guidance from David Pickerell in Houston, Texas, features a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. It was distilled in pot stills and aged in American oak barrels with a #4 char. Its initial aroma consists of cooked fruits, nuts, wood, and spice. The bold flavor profile includes notes of peach, apricot, vanilla, caramel, rye, cinnamon, and allspice, culminating in a long, woody finish with hints of oak and almonds. Sampled February/August 2022.

This is certainly a distinctive bourbon. It has a slightly grainy character on the aroma and initial taste. The corn sweetness is prominent on the back palate, along with vanilla. A very enjoyable drink.

A dependable whiskey, with pleasant flavors that are easy to drink. It has fruity and dry characteristics.

Simply not good. I cannot identify the aroma or flavor, but I just dislike it.

Definitely avoid, lots of menthol flavor.

Strong oak presence but good taste!!
