93 proof
3 years
Bourbon
Big River Distilling Company
Memphis, TN
$29.99
21% rye, remainder corn and malted barley
Nose
Deep vanilla, corn sweetness, floral notes, apricot, pear, all spice, maple, cinnamon, butterscotch. Complex and inviting with complementary and somewhat contradictory flavors.
Palate
Candied sliced apples with spice, sweet on the front, full and rich with depth. Does not taste like a three-year-old whiskey. Smooth with buttery characteristics and classic bourbon notes.
Finish
Lingering sweetness and spice with an antique note—reminiscent of older wood and vintage furniture.
Recommended
A fully matured and complex bourbon that dramatically over-delivers for its sub-$30 price point, with sophisticated flavor layers and surprising depth.
