Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof Bourbon (116 Proof)
116 proof
3–4 years
Bourbon
Cedar Ridge Distillery
74% corn, 14% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose
Pronounced char and oak presence due to minimal dilution.
Palate
Amplified sweetness and caramel with heavy charred oak influence; spicy mid-palate from barrel char rather than rye; still approachable for a barrel-proof expression.
Finish
Rich charred oak and subtle spice fade.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A bold, well-balanced barrel-proof bourbon that amplifies the base bourbon's character while maintaining approachability.
