NAS

Le Claire, IA
$34–$35
70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% barley
Nose
Sweet with floral notes reminiscent of dandelions. Prominent corn sweetness with a wheaty character. Minimal oak presence, suggesting youth. Light and airy with no significant spice.
Palate
Sweet bourbon with just a tad of spice. Light and delicate on the tongue. Roasted corn notes. Less viscous than expected for 105 proof. Raspberry undertones paired with the corn sweetness.
Finish
Short finish with a slight warming hug from the 105 proof. Minimal lingering oak or complexity.
Respectable
A decent young wheated bourbon with appealing corn-forward sweetness that shows promise with additional age, though currently lacking the maturity and oak integration for a higher tier.
