Jackson Purchase Distillery
$60
70% corn, 20% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose
Classic bourbon—vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, and buttery undertones with light citrus whisper.
Palate
Buttery caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, baked apple, and spice with notable oily viscosity; sweet and well-balanced with lingering complexity on the back palate.
Finish
Medium-long, clinging finish that extends well beyond the initial sip with persistent sweetness and oak.
Overall Score
4.1 / 5
A textbook excellent bourbon from established craftspeople that tastes significantly older than its four-year age statement, with rich body and impressive balance.
