JTS Brown Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
100 proof
4 years or older
Bourbon
Heaven Hill
$9.50
Nose
Bold baking spice, graham cracker, and gingerbread notes; more noticeable alcohol presence than Heaven Hill 6-Year; assertive and punchy.
Palate
Direct spice-driven delivery; present across the midpalate with peppery character; less rounded than the 6-year; touch of bitterness on the back palate.
Finish
Good development with spice lingering on the back and sides of the palate; rounds the corner well; bitterness softens noticeably with a small splash of water.
Overall Score
3 / 5
A bold, spice-forward bottled-in-bond with good backbone and surprising depth for its price point, though slightly harsh without dilution.
