Bell of Dayton Dietrich Fine Whiskeys Full Proof Single Barrel Straight Bourbon
123.2 proof 8 years 6 months Straight Bourbon Bell of Dayton Dayton, OH $97.99 5-grain (corn, oats, rye, wheat, malted barley)
Nose

Vibrant orange peel, fresh and candy-like sweetness with a warehouse wood character. Subtle warehouse earthiness.

Palate

Well-balanced for its proof with cinnamon oatmeal character and black tea notes. The oats contribute buttery, creamy mouthfeel that softens high-proof heat. Rye spiciness sits mid-palate. Not sweet on the palate. Warehouse and darker notes present throughout.

Finish

Sustained with black tea undertones. Spicy rye character lingers. Warm and inviting without aggression despite high proof.

Really good
An impressively balanced high-proof pot-stilled bourbon that defies expectation, delivering complexity and approachability through thoughtful production choices and careful barrel selection.
