Earl Settler Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
80 proof 2–3 years Bourbon Artisan Distillery (Crestwood) Crestwood, KY $9.99
Nose

Kettle corn sweetness with caramel and cotton candy notes. Light fruit, no off-notes or harsh alcohol.

Palate

Corn-forward with light sweetness and a very soft, flat character. Clean and approachable with minimal complexity; no spice, bite, or offensive flavors.

Finish

Notably flat and understated with no Kentucky hug or warming character.

Mediocre
A skillfully distilled but underwhelming bourbon best suited for mixing, cooking, or introducing newcomers to whiskey rather than sipping neat.
