Brothers of the Leaf Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, Finished in Toasted French Oak
112 proof 5-6 years Bourbon Brothers of the Leaf Louisville, KY $79.99
Nose

Nutty and smoky notes; French vanilla, marshmallow cream character; almond and citrus elements.

Palate

Smooth and substantial despite high proof; the French oak toasting provides vanilla and marshmallow sweetness without char harshness; complements rather than overwhelms the bourbon.

Finish

Nutty and smoky with lingering vanilla notes; the French oak finish lingers pleasantly without astringency.

Above average
A well-crafted bourbon finished in toasted French oak that punches above its proof weight with smooth vanilla and marshmallow character ideal for cigar pairing.
