Michter's Sour Mash Small Batch Whiskey Review:
Slight marshmallow and coffee bean on nose. Caramel, pepper, spice. Sweet fruit come out on swirl of the glass. Very mellow. Fresh sawn oak. Slight grass note. Low proof but a spice and a thin creaminess spread over tongue.
Shenk's Homestead Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey Review:
Butterscotch, citrus & heavy leather nose. Sour & toasty. Rich marshmallow nose with some citrus hints. Caramel. Way more of a rich syrupy palate with citrus fruits and oak. Dark fruit shows on finish. A clear step above the other two glasses.
Michter's Small Batch Bourbon Review:
Peanut nose... Muted. Nothing specific jumping out on this one. Maybe a light citrus fruit and leather. New found spice on tongue. Leather for sure now. Lowest (toughest) proof to taste on this flight.
Final Ranking: Shenks > Sour Mash > Bourbon
