Nose
Cinnabon cinnamon roll aroma with cream cheese frosting, vanilla cream, and powdered sugar notes. Subtle cherry undertones with measured oak influence that's beautifully integrated rather than overpowering.
Palate
Very viscous and oily with the cinnamon bun profile carrying cleanly through, coating the tongue with sticky, spice-forward character. Sweet but not overly so, with excellent texture and body.
Finish
Sticky, spice-forward finish driven by the 120-proof bottling strength. The whiskey displays dramatic vertical ribs of legs down the glass, underscoring its viscosity and body.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A significant improvement over Devil's River's previous release, this 120-proof two-year-old Texas bourbon impresses with rich vanilla and cinnamon notes, excellent viscosity, and a price point that makes it worth seeking out.
