W. H. Harrison Governors Reserve celebrates the rare balance of boldness and smoothness required in a great leader, and great Bourbon. This is Batch #4
I wanted to like this more than I did, but it is a bit rough around the edges. Thankfully though, it does not pack a lot of gross young crafty notes which helps it at ranking time.

House Review
Nose:
Ethanol, corn, honey and graham cracker. Sweet buttered popcorn and clove.
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, some heat. Weirdly thin, lots of honey and faint pepper.
Finish:
Short, hot and loaded with fruitiness. Lots of melon, passion fruit, honey, clove and graham cracker. Surprisingly not full of craft notes - which is excellent.
Overall:
