Virgina Gentleman 90 Proof Small Batch Bourbon

We here at The Finer Things strive to bring you the best bang for your buck. We set this standard in order for the average joe to stretch his dollar without sacrificing taste, or even the wealthy...to stay wealthy at least... At any rate, I search high and low for these bargains and it often backfires on me in the liquor department because there is a direct correlation to the amount spent and the taste you get. It's an unfortunate side effect of the supply and demand charts from our days in school that still haunt us to this day. But what is a guy (or gal) to do when they are searching for that perfect blend of taste and price? Are we relegated to Aristocrat or Vladimir forever? I can't answer those questions for every type of liquor, at least not yet...were working on that answer, but for bourbon I have the perfect solution. I have found the "holy grain" or the "x factor" in those supply and demand charts in Virgina Gentleman 90 Proof Small Batch Bourbon!
 
Tasting Notes:
For starters, this stuff smells delicious! There are hints of vanilla, honey and a whiff of pepper on the nose. When you first taste it, it has those same hints but with a caramel smoothness to it all that delights your mouth. It leaves you with a smokey wood, rye and spices finish that begs for more, which of course you have to comply with.

All in all this bourbon is unbelievable and consistently wins awards at spirits competitions. The bad news is that it's not distributed across the US, or at least as far as I know, but I wish it was because you cannot beat the value this bourbon presents. If you don't already have some in your cabinet then I suggest you go to your local store and buy a bottle, pour it over a few ice cubes and maybe add a splash of water then sit back and relax knowing you have a superb bourbon in your hand and you didn't have to donate blood to get it!
