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.
