E.J. Curley Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Small Batch, 95 Proof)
95 proof NAS Bourbon E.J. Curley Camp Nelson, KY $51.99

Light, fresh, and airy with peach and nectarine notes. Tropical fruit character with Caribbean spice, a touch of vanilla, and light citrus undertones. A hint of ethanol present but not overwhelming.

Sweet vanilla forward with pronounced oak influence and spice. Syrupy sweetness reminiscent of canned peaches, with a white icing and Duncan Sticks-like character. Sweet-tart candy notes with subtle tannic qualities. Builds gradually with a gentle hug on the back of the tongue and sides.

Medium length, possibly slightly shorter than medium. Gentle Kentucky hug without bearing harshness, developing into a soft finish that drinks easy and approachable.

Above average
A well-crafted, approachable small batch bourbon with excellent balance between sweet fruit and oak spice that drinks easy at 95 proof and represents a promising revival of a historic Kentucky distillery.
