Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof Bourbon (116 Proof)
116 proof 3–4 years Bourbon Cedar Ridge Distillery Swisher, IA 74% corn, 14% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose

Notable char and oak presence with amplified barrel influence.

Palate

Amplified sweetness with heavy caramel character and spicy mid-palate notes driven by barrel char rather than rye content.

Finish

Charred oak backbone.

Above average
A well-balanced barrel-proof expression that amplifies the sweetness and oak character of the standard bourbon while remaining approachable for the proof level.
