Purchased at: | Carrollton, GA | Purchased for: | 9.49 | Info on this bottle: | Green Label Heaven Hill Old Style | Proof Of this Bottle: | 90 | Nose: | Sweet, light nose with no sign of char or caramel; just light rye spice | Taste: | A nice sting (not burn) from the alcohol and rye. Light caramel or maple flavor, much like a young, raw Canadian whisky. Like the nose, no char or other barrel flavors. | Finish: | Short, light sting, a little maple sweetness. | Overall: | Very little bourbon flavor for a 90 proof and (so I've read) six-year-old bourbon. If you told me it was really less than 2 years old, I would believe you. I wanted to like it, but it ends up a disappointment. |

Purchased at: | PA LCB Store | Purchased for: | $10.49/liter | Info on this bottle: | Old Style Bourbon | Nose: | Not much nose. I hate to say it but it almost smells like nail polish remover. A sweet nail polish remover. | Taste: | A little pepper, cinnamon, sweet corn, understated but not really too bad either. | Finish: | A 5 second burn, a little heat and after 30 seconds, it's all over. | Overall: | At $10.49 a liter (regular price in the commonwealth of PA), this works out to $7.87 for a 750/ml bottle. I cannot think of a better bourbon buy. I drink this formulation with coke or neat. At this price it is a great value and is totally drinkable. Not a bottle that will impress your friends but I have had a lot worse. If offered I will accept if my wallet happens to be thin and I'm thirsty, I will buy. |

Purchased at: | Big-D | Purchased for: | $2.98 | Info on this bottle: | 1978 7 year old 200 ml | Proof Of this Bottle: | 86 | Nose: | Big and bold. Fruity, nutmeg, spices. Refined. | Taste: | Bannanas, cinnamon, smooth and rich. Corn sweetness. Balanced and again refined. | Finish: | Medium to long with bannanas from start to finish. | Overall: | Top notch Heaven Hill. I don't get a budget bourbon impression from this one. Bold and well rounded. Reminds me alot of Yellowstone from this era. Any suggestions on how to make a 200 ml last for 50 more years? |
