Firehouse Reserve
NAS NAS Bourbon blend James Huggins (home blender) Shelbyville, KY Old Forester 1910, Old Forester 1920, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Nose

Rich, deep, dark caramel with rose potpourri, hot honey butter, oak, leather, and tobacco; syrupy and bold.

Palate

Spicy and silky with peppercorn, oak, and leather; leathery cherry syrup with campfire s'mores and a little drying tannin; sizzling with heat.

Finish

Medium with no Kentucky hug despite the spice; pleasant and rich but lacking length.

Agreeable
A dark, bold blend with a striking nose and pleasant spicy palate that falls short of its own promise by delivering a medium finish without adequate depth.
