Bluegrass Distillers Blue Corn Single Barrel Bourbon 7 Year
129 proof 7 years Bourbon Bluegrass Distillers Midway, KY $70 70% blue corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley

Subdued and unassuming with corn-forward character and light graininess; subtle blueberry suggestions.

Buttery opening into blueberry hand-pie flavors with glazed pastry notes and burnt orange citrus character; surprisingly layered and complex despite the quiet nose; almond and woody elements; the proof presents itself as a slow warming burn rather than aggressive heat.

Long, lingering finish with slow burn and numbing sensation; notably sustained and impressive given the minimal nose.

Very good
A deceptively complex single barrel bourbon that belies its subtle nose with an impressive buttery, pastry-forward palate and exceptionally long finish.
