Jim's House Blend "Old Hoot" (Blend 5A, Batch 2, Bottle 7)
100 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Private Blend
Nose
Sweet cherry, caramel, oak, with subtle raisin and darker fruit notes. Not overly sweet but fruit-forward.
Palate
Honey, caramel with a peppery punch on the back end. Carries oak back into the finish with a slight tannic quality but doesn't dry the mouth.
Finish
Peppery with persistent oak and tannins; lingers for an extended period with a warm mouthfeel.
Top notch
A carefully crafted personal blend that drinks considerably warmer and punchier than its 100-proof statement, balancing sweet fruit and caramel with a satisfying peppery finish.
