Christmas Bourbon Buck (Cedar Ridge Full Proof Bourbon cocktail)
116 proof
Cocktail
Cedar Ridge
Nose
Cranberry and citrus with warming bourbon presence; muddled cranberries add subtle aromatic depth.
Palate
Visually striking blush-pink presentation from muddled cranberries, which add a gentle viscosity and subtle fruity-nutty character rather than sharp tartness; at 116 proof the Cedar Ridge bourbon is present but not harsh, delivering warmth and depth that carries through a balanced lemon-cranberry framework.
Finish
Warm and sustained with lingering cranberry notes and barrel-proof bourbon warmth.
Excellent
A beautifully presented, well-balanced cocktail where barrel-proof bourbon depth integrates seamlessly with muddled cranberry complexity and bright citrus notes.
