BOONES BOURBON HOMEGROWN SOUTH CAROLINA 750ML

Tasting Notes Appearance: Both in the bottle and in a glass, Boone’s Bourbon is a standard amber hue with a touch of red giving it a bit of a coppery tint. Nose: The first sniff of the glass brings with it an unusual mix of both sweet and spicy – still on the sweeter side with vanilla and sweet corn forming the base, but with notes of smoky oak and cloves adding an edge to the bouquet. Although the spicy side ebbs a bit, those aromas stay fairly constant over time. Palate: Entry to the mouth brings a strong flavor of caramel – buttery but somehow not very rich – with a faint note of green apples adding a hint of fruity tartness to the base. That sits for a moment before taking on a bit of a smoky character as a cinnamon flavor begins to build and build until it eclipses anything else.
