Nose: MINT! Tea, baseball glove, slight oak, spice: nutmeg, all spice, clove with slight hints of vanilla, pecan and orange peel.Quote:

Good stuff! It wasn't harsh or bitter at all! It is a bit too thin, 'watery' almost, and simple. But, it's easy sippin' and smooth! Strong mint nose that reminds me of mint plants/leaves. Finishes a little too quick for me, but I like it. A touch 'medicinal' if you sip too much.
If this is what I can expect from bourbon, I can say good-bye to scotch and whiskey! Although I do like this one, I think I'd like to try something more complex and robust.
Well, there goes my bourbon virginity! I wont count the JBB, on account it was obviously a bad bottle.
I'm finishing off this bottle of Handy I was drinking from last night. An exelent choice given the bitterly cold winds.
Hey Sin, nice tasting notes on th BH....since you like the high rye profile, might I suggest a Four Roses bottling for your next purchase. My favorite would be the Single Barrel.

It is very different from anything I have had before. I like it but need more time with it. I could get used to this stuff.
