116 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Cedar Ridge Distillery

Nose
Fruity and festive with muddled cranberry aromatics balanced by warm barrel-proof bourbon notes.
Palate
Rich and slightly thicker mouthfeel from the muddled cranberries, with cranberry juice providing tartness, lemon juice adding brightness, and ginger beer contributing spice, all bound together by the full-proof bourbon.
Finish
Warm, complex finish with lingering cranberry and subtle warming spice from the barrel-proof bourbon.
Very good
A refined take on the historic corn buck that showcases excellent balance between the high-proof bourbon's warmth, muddled fruit's texture, and the holiday-appropriate cranberry-ginger notes.
