$99
Four grain (corn, rye, wheat, malted barley)
Nose
Sweet and sticky aroma with sorghum molasses, caramel, oak, and a hint of juicy fruit; slightly ethanol-forward but not overpowering; dense sweetness characteristic of four-grain bourbons.
Palate
Explosion of flavor with sweetness concentrated on the sides and front of the mouth; nice pop with toasted marshmallow notes; well-balanced with corn sweetness largely integrated; viscous and oily for 100 proof with good oak influence.
Finish
Medium to medium-long finish with a pleasant hug that sits higher in the mouth rather than deep; good staying power with lingering sweetness.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted four-grain bourbon with impressive viscosity and balance, expertly aged and expertly crafted, though the $99 price point may limit accessibility for some.
