Tennessee Straight Bourbon
Old Smoky Distillery
$40
Nose
Light and airy with corn sweetness and cereal notes. As it opens up in the glass, reveals oak, leather, sassafras/root beer notes, and burnt caramel.
Palate
Smooth with burnt caramel, white pepper and black pepper spice, tannic oak notes, and a dry character. Drinks more like a 100-proof whiskey despite being 94 proof.
Overall Score
3.8 / 5
An approachable, sessionable Tennessee straight bourbon with light and airy characteristics, surprising spice complexity, and charcoal-filtered smoothness for the price.
