NAS
Bourbon
Mississippi River Distilling Company
LeClaire, IA
$34–$35
70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% barley
Nose
Sweet with floral notes reminiscent of dandelions. High corn character with wheat presence. Minimal oak. Slightly young on the nose with a flowery quality.
Palate
Sweet bourbon with just a touch of spice. Light and not particularly viscous despite the proof. Roasted corn character. Raspberry notes paired with the corn sweetness. Limited complexity.
Finish
Very short finish with a slight hug from the 105 proof. Minimal lingering flavor.
Fair
A decent young wheated bourbon with corn-forward sweetness and decent proof execution, though it would benefit from additional aging to develop oak maturity and complexity.
