Earl Settler Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
80 proof 24 months minimum Bourbon Artisan & Distillery (Crestwood, Kentucky) $9.99

Kettle corn, prominent caramel sweetness, cotton candy notes, and light fruit. Youthful but inoffensive.

Sweet corn-forward character with a watery, flat texture that lacks complexity. Clean and well-distilled with no off-notes, heat, or spice. Corn sweetness dominates without development.

Brief and uneventful with minimal complexity or warmth.

Overall Score
2.5 / 5
A skillfully distilled but underwhelming youth-focused whiskey best suited for mixing, sipping slowly, or introducing newcomers to bourbon without offending.
