Background: This is a NAS bourbon from Brown-Forman for their Whiskey Row Series that was finished in a toasted oak barrel before bottling that I had blind and then was revealed the bottling
ABV: 46.50%
Nose: Cloyingly sweet, caramel, artificial banana, allspice, oak
Palate: The sweetness. Ethanol, caramel, banana. Vanilla. Flavors aren’t balanced too well.
Finish: The sweet banana mixed with nail polish remover and lingers too long.
The finish is awful, and the overpowering sweetness and ethanol permeates the entire drink
Rating: 3/10
Guess: OF 1870
Reveal: OF 1910
I was surprised there wasn’t more oak influence here but regardless, wish I had liked it more.
