NAS
Bourbon
Unknown (Stephen Bishop, Peoria, IL)
Nose
Rich sweet caramel with stone fruit notes, dark cherry, oak, vanilla, tobacco, and leather.
Palate
Sweet caramel and herbal notes; short, bitter finish with sugary bitterness and unripe green apple.
Finish
Light with a disconnected peppery sting, dry leather, and a medium but unremarkable fade.
Overall Score
2.8 / 5
A beautiful nose that disappoints on the palate and finish, with disjointed flavors and a bitter edge that undercut the initial promise.
