Dread River Distilling Company Alabama Straight Bourbon
141.8 proof 6 years Bourbon Dread River Distilling Company Birmingham, AL $140 60% white corn, 30% winter wheat, 10% malted barley
Nose

Dark and composed with Luxardo cherry, rich caramel, and black pepper notes. Inviting and complex without harsh heat.

Palate

Warm river of concentrated flavor: dark cherry, burnt molasses, chocolate, cola, and oak blend seamlessly. Like a rum cake with chocolate and oak structure.

Finish

Long, warm finish with lingering dark cherry and molasses sweetness.

Really good
A surprisingly well-composed high-proof bourbon with dark cherry and molasses depth that drinks more refined than its proof suggests.
