Last Generation The third generation of the Silver Select was born in 2015, but did not last long. Because just a year later, Brown-Forman decided to replace it with the Single Barrel 100 Proof and give it a new look. That also makes this Silver Select the 'last generation'. In my opinion, its deep bronze color is also the darkest of the Silver Select releases that I have already encountered. Creamy nose of vanilla and Graeffe sugar, supplemented with banana cream and caramel, but also something like pancake batter. Very mild in spiciness. At the very back there is some herbal tea that has steeped too long. Nice and oily on the tongue. This is almost syrup. And it also resembles that in terms of taste. Maple syrup for the pancakes, honey and vanilla. The spices are a little more pronounced: nutmeg and saffron, but also a hint of oregano. From the second sip it is really creamy and a bit spicy. It makes my mouth completely warm. And I'm fine with it. The aftertaste is quite long, with the herbs slowly fading away to make way for creamy vanilla. I also really like this single barrel (in its genre). Thanks to Jack's Safe from Roermond (NL) for the sample.

Nice but too hot for my palate

For me, bourbon unfortunately doesn't have as much depth as other whiskey, but interesting aromas still spread when the whiskey has dried on the edge of the glass.

this tenesse whiskey gets 80 points because it is well done and presented. it can't hide that it is distillied with maize/corn. So if you do not like the nose and test of the at least 51% of corn/maize do not buy this whiskey. It's a typical tennesse (bourbon) whiskey. For a bourbon/tennesse it is outstandingly good. would give more than 80 points but i do not like the bourbon taste at all...
