Yalls,
You seems to have it right. Just focus on it a little more and try to pick apart the tastes. Also, smaller pours.
Just becareful not to use too much branch water, you just want to calm it down, not dilute the palate.
^ The super hardcore people will tell you to use distilled water or bottled water. Honestly, your palette (and mine) isn't refined enough to taste a difference. Use distilled if you have it, otherwise just use bottled (tap as a last resort).
Serious question - how much is a splash of water? I am drinking Rowan's Creek, which is 100.1 proof and supposedly a strong bourbon according to google. Thanks.
I love Rowans Creek. I don't think it needs much water at all. Maybe a drop or two if you want to experiment. Try it plain first. Also, when I say a drop or two that isn't a figure of speech, I mean a drop or two. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
Crap I put in a splash, literally. Oh well, next time I will drink it more neat.
That might be why it tastes like bourbon and nothing more special. The extra power is what gives it more flavor and complexity. Try with less water next time, I think you will find it more interesting.
Definitely has a sweetish first touch, like honey, and then turns to something more "bourbony" I guess. The word oakey is used by some...but I'm not sure what that means to be honest.
Its a slight woody bitterness. Kind of tastes like sucking a woodchip.
