Yes I know it is four months after the meeting. It seems like just yesterday we were tasting and laughing and eating Todd's culinary delights. Where has the time gone?
Anyway....

-smells strong alcohol and wood with sweet
-tastes warm, wet alcohol
-with water smells sweeter wood
-tasted sour bourbon
-trails leather/cotton
Hudson Baby Bourbon Whisky 46% ABV
Corn Whiskey Aged 4 Years in Oak
-smells of hay/farm with slight sweetness loke flower decay
-tastes a hint of corn

I liked the strange flavors. Corn whiskey is easy to drink.
