Johnny Fever Straight Bourbon Whiskey
100 Proof
Minimum 2 Years (likely 4+ years)
Straight Bourbon
Burnt Church Distillery
$99
Four Grain
Nose
Sweet and sticky aroma with sorghum molasses, caramel, oak, and hints of juicy fruit. A little ethanol-y but not too strong.
Palate
An explosion of flavor with toasted marshmallow notes and pop rocks sensation. The sweetness stays on the sides and front of the mouth, with good viscosity and oak influence for a 100 proof.
Finish
Medium to medium-long finish with nice oak influence and a pleasant hug that doesn't linger too intensely.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted four-grain bourbon with impressive dark color and complexity that drinks older than its minimum age statement, though the $99 price is steep for a craft release.
