Straight Bourbon
Midwest Grain Processors (Ohio)
Higher Rye
Nose
Nice spice with sweetness, hint of oak, rye spice coming through with hints of vanilla and a bubble gum/starch note reminiscent of Big League Chew, with honey notes.
Palate
Sweet and spicy at the same time with nice balance, a little bit of hug, oak showing up more than on the nose, with an even presentation across the palate that's not heavy on one end or the other.
Finish
Drying finish on the back end.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-balanced, higher-rye straight bourbon with spice, sweetness, and oak that delivers an even presentation across the palate.
