Oyo Michelone Reserve

Intro:

Four generations of distilling traditions and one particularly determined grandfather inspired Middle West Spirits’ first Master’s Blend. This small-batch whiskey pairs the finest Kentucky straight bourbon with our award-winning OYO Whiskey to create a smooth, smoky, and softly sweet bourbon that proudly bears the name of the grandfather who inspired it all. The Michelone Reserve is a flavor-forward blend of sweet yellow corn, soft red winter wheat, dark pumpernickel rye, and two-row barley.

Review:

Nose - This almost has a likeness to a banana Now and Later, if you have ever experienced that.  Low astringency and a really inviting aroma...right amount of spice.  I dig it!

Rub - A bit of oak and baked bread with the rub.  

Taste - Incredibly smooth...hits palate with no burn to the lips or tongue and a very mild flavor.  I am holding this sip in my mouth for the time it took to type these two sentences....and I type slow.  Hello!?!  I'm from Kentucky!  You have to read quickly to type quickly.  Just swallowed.  Very smooth finish....I like this a lot.  A bit of cinnamon on the palate  

Is it worth the $?

I got this for $70 and I would pay that to keep one in my bar and drink sparingly.
