Color: Auburn.
ABV: 45%.

Nose: Bright fuseliness, vanilla, spices, pastries, dried bananas. [n19]

Taste: Scalding milk chocolate, from orange acid it turns into sweetness of baking (very interesting), sweetness of cinnamon sugar. [t20]

Finish: Short and fusiform. Oak and dried bananas. [f16]

Balance: I expected the worst from this price category. Fusel at the same time and spoils interesting flavoring scales, but also makes the drink more bold and refreshing. In the taste is a very interesting transition from citrus acid to the sweetness of a cake or biscuit. A drop of water does not remove the fouling and it suppresses other aromas and tastes - do not add water. Aftertaste utter nonsense, after such a sweet and sour bouquet in the taste I want to finish something interesting, and comes fussiness with bananas. Quickly comes, quickly leaves. [b19]

Bulleit Bourbon NAS | 45% | 20 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 77pts
N: The fusel tones are mixed with ripe orange cake, chocolate pastries, caramel and cinnamon, maple syrup and oak.
T: Opened with pepper orange, milk chocolate with caramel, tobacco themes.
F: Poor and short, bites with chocolate chips pepper.
B: Pretty good bourbon for very good money.

A pleasant enough dram - quite a short, stocky after taste leaving the tongue with a pleasant coating.

Bourbon of good quality, with a relatively high percentage of rye. Purchased initially as a base of cocktails, it is however pleasant enough to consume as is or on ice.
