Blackened X Wes Henderson Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
116.2 proof NAS Kentucky Straight Bourbon Unnamed (likely Bardstown, Frankfort, or Louisville) KY $100
Nose

Very light and soft with minimal alcohol burn despite the proof; almost non-existent on first impression.

Palate

Raisins and pears with significant pepper and spice on the palate.

Finish

Spicy backend with a strong peppery finish; described as having a bite to it.

Respectable
A port-finished collaboration between Metallica and Wes Henderson that impresses with a lively finish but feels somewhat imbalanced between its soft entry and aggressive back end.
