90 proof

Bourbon
KNO Distillery
Manassas, VA
70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% malted barley
Nose
Corny sweetness with nice spiciness (from barrel, not rye), caramel, vanilla—average bourbon nose with youthful character.
Palate
Sweet with spiciness on the sides and back of the tongue; peanut brittle and nutty notes; hugs a bit more than expected for the age; not overly ethanol-forward.
Finish
Medium finish with nutty character; slight drying quality.
Decent
A respectable young Virginia bourbon that shows promise as a mixer and earns marks for solid fundamentals despite its youth.
