How We Score
Every bourbon is evaluated on six dimensions, each scored 1–10. The final score is the honest average.
- Nose — The aromas you detect before your first sip
- Palate — The flavors that develop on your tongue
- Finish — The lingering sensations after swallowing
- Balance & Complexity — How harmoniously the flavors work together
- Appearance — Color, clarity, and the legs in the glass
- Value — Does the quality justify the price?
