Bourbon
Artisan & Distillery (Crestwood, Kentucky)
$9.99
Nose
Kettle corn, prominent caramel sweetness, cotton candy notes, and light fruit. Youthful but inoffensive.
Palate
Sweet corn-forward character with a watery, flat texture that lacks complexity. Clean and well-distilled with no off-notes, heat, or spice. Corn sweetness dominates without development.
Finish
Brief and uneventful with minimal complexity or warmth.
Overall Score
2.5 / 5
A skillfully distilled but underwhelming youth-focused whiskey best suited for mixing, sipping slowly, or introducing newcomers to bourbon without offending.
