Grass Widow Distillery Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Westport Whiskey & Wine Select), Madeira Cask Finish, 119.2 Proof
119.2 proof NAS Bourbon Grass Widow Distillery Detroit, Michigan
Nose

Big fruit-forward character with dried fruit and raisined notes from Madeira influence; sweet and distinctive; hint of anise; aromatic and unique.

Palate

Immediate impact with heat and strength; sweet and savory with dry center palate that quickly transitions; balanced despite high proof with no harsh burn.

Finish

Strong and solid race to a long, clean finish.

Really good
An exceptionally balanced barrel-proof bourbon with a complex Madeira finish that delivers big flavors without heat, representing creative whiskey-making from a resurrected pre-Prohibition distillery.
