Seattle Barrel Reserve - Seattle Vapor Co

I am a sucker for oak barrel steeped bourbon eLiquids, so when I saw this I had to try it.

I have been vaping it for 24 hours now and here are my quick impressions.

It is very light overall, not in your face as I would expect from an oak barrel steeped bourbon eliquid. The caramel is by far the dominate flavor, with a just barely distinguishable hazelnut exhale. The caramel crushes everything else making them indistinguishable flavors in the background. I do not pick up the bourbon which is what I would assume would be the dominate flavor. Also I do not taste any hint of oak in this. If it has been steeped in an oak barrel I sure cannot tell.

For what it is advertised as, a smooth Kentucky Bourbon with vanilla, hazelnut, and caramel with hints of vanilla bean, steeped in oak barrel for 2 1/2 weeks, it's pretty poor.

For a caramel vape that is pretty smooth and light, it's pretty good which it's not being billed as.

Overall, I give it a 2/5. While it is a nice caramel flavor, and not a bad vape, it is not what I would expect from an oak steeped bourbon eliquid. Especially for the price.
