Hugh Hamer Rum Finish Bourbon
103 proof
5 years in bourbon barrel, 2 years in Cruzan rum barrel
Bourbon
West Fork Whiskey
Westfield, IN
$64.99
99% corn, 1% malted barley
Nose
Heavy molasses and blackstrap rum influence with tropical fruit notes and a subtle mint freshness.
Palate
Soft and well-integrated finish influence with tropical fruit, blackstrap rum, and bourbon flavors balanced together. Sweet and approachable without overwhelming the base bourbon character.
Finish
Smooth transition from blackstrap rum spice to tropical sweetness, then a lingering sweet finish.
Very good
An exceptionally well-balanced finished bourbon where two years in Cruzan barrels enhances rather than dominates the corn-forward base spirit.
