Unbendt Unblended Bottled in Bond Bourbon Review
Nose
One can smell a corn-toasted caramel flavor with a peppercorn mix blended with traditional bourbon aromas. It’s really pleasant.
Palate
The first thing you notice when taking a sip is nicely balanced sweetness and a bit of vanilla. Charred oak, rye spice, and a buttery mouthfeel come next. It’s well crafted and unique.
Finish
The finish is comprised of rye spice, dry oak, leather, peppercorn spice, and a mild lingering heat. The heat fades quickly and the flavors fall away shortly after.
Overall

The nose and finish could be intensified a bit more, however, the palate is definitely on point. Plus, the addition of the lovely buttery mouthfeel helps to tie the sip together.
