NEAT NOSE - Blueberries, Grape Jelly, Caramel, Herbal Tea and Cane Sugar PALATE - A slightly viscous feel. Notes of caramel, herbal tea, honey, and dark fruits. FINISH - Similar to the other two Still Austin BiB seasonal releases, the finish is smooth and long. OVERALL - This might be the best BiB from Still Austin to date. A close second is the red corn expression. This is fantastic and definitely worth buying!
Smells like butterscotch, toffee, caramel, or maple syrup, with vanilla. Tastes of oak and baking spice, with a rich, buttery feel and a lingering spiciness.
Pleasant and flavorful, quite mellow with a gradual warmth as it goes down.
I didn't like it. Just a standard corn whiskey flavor.
One of my top choices.
