Flavor Profile Differences
Oak is doing most of the differentiating here.
- Charles Goodnight Bourbon: A barrel-strength Texas bourbon. The hot Texas climate pulls a lot of oak in six years, giving deep wood, brown sugar and dark fruit with plenty of rye spice.
- Jefferson's Tropics Aged in Humidity: Jefferson's sent barrels to the Singapore jungle for a year and a half, and the humidity shows. It is creamy and fruit-heavy, with tobacco, leather and baking spice running underneath.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Charles Goodnight Bourbon if you want a bold, oak-heavy Texas bourbon at barrel strength at a lower price point and without hunting for it.
- Go with Jefferson's Tropics Aged in Humidity if you want an unusual, tropical-aged bourbon with creamy fruit and tobacco.
