Brush Creek Straight Bourbon Whiskies
94 proof 4 to 12 years Bourbon Brush Creek Distillery Saratoga, WY $55 Four grain blend (corn, rye, wheat, malted barley)

Solid waft of caramel and fruit with apparent oak. Waffle cone aroma reminiscent of fresh Belgian waffles. Candied pecan notes. Stone fruit character, particularly ripe peach. Floral quality. Hint of wintergreen or spearmint freshness without actual mint flavor.

Baking spices with a savory note that is difficult to pinpoint. Over-ripe peach character. Anise on the back of the palate. Little drying effect that pinches the tongue slightly, like sizzling rather than pop rocks. Roasted oil quality without heavy nuttiness. Spice-forward profile with minimal sweetness. Opens up with time to reveal toasted peach and caramel notes.

Barely reaching medium length but pleasant. Drying effect with old dried leather character. Slight sizzle and freshness that opens the palate. No roasted nuts. Spice-driven conclusion.

Above average
A well-crafted blend of three sourced whiskies that proves versatile as a straight sipper or in cocktails, with spice-forward character and a pleasant sessionable quality that improves with time in the glass.
