Have you had any Iowa bourbon?
Right on the banks on the mighty Mississippi River, in Le Claire, Iowa is Mississippi River Distilling Company who is churning out their Cody Road single barrel,straight bourbon whiskey .
Buffalo Bill Cody lived life large. Born just a mile from their distillery, they honor his legend with a BIG whiskey. This limited wheated bourbon is hand selected one barrel at a time.
We hope you enjoy Jim and Mike’s review! Check out the podcast episode to hear more. Cheers!
Tasting Notes: Cody Road Bourbon
Vital Stats: The mashbill is 70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% barley. It’s 105 proof and has an MSRP of $35. It’s at least 4 years old.
Appearance: Beautiful with a leather textured label that’s fitting for the legendary showman. The bourbon is honey amber.
Nose: Corn sweetness and young. Dandylion floral with hints of oak.
Palate: Light sweet cinnamon spice, with Iowa roasted corn and raspberry.
Finish: Short with a nice Mississippi River hug.
Overall: We both would like to see it older. It was still a nice craft whiskey and we are glad Melody Shannon grabbed a bottle from the distillery. Pick up a bottle from Binny’s beverage online or on your travels. Cheers
