MGP -  9 - Bourbon - 75C21R4M (Guess) - Sample - $80 (Guess) - 51.6%


.This is a store pick of MGP juice.  

Color - Caramel 

Nose - Marshmallow, vanilla, candy - pretty muted

Taste - Caramel, Candied vanilla, marshmallow

Mouthfeel - Medium - on the thinner side

Finish - Vanilla, caramel, tobacco, generic white fruit

Finish Length - Medium

Overall - 4/7 - This whisky was nice but it was on the lighter side of whiskies.  It is not complex but is very potable.  It is a touch on the sweeter side with loads of candied vanilla carrying throughout the palate.  Overall, I think that this nice if you are in the mood for a lighter whiskey, this might be up your alley.  It isn't my favorite profile and I probably wouldn't seek out a bottle.  

Rating system is price influenced as it is based on my shopping decisions when buying a bottle.
