Nose
Oak-forward with sweetness hiding beneath. Kettle corn notes when walking across a parking lot, caramel apple with caramel corn. Baked apple with cinnamon. After tasting, dark fruit notes emerge.
Palate
Sweetness on the front with corn shining through, buttered popcorn character. Bold whiskey with a distinctive corn-forward profile. Caramel sweetness with baking spice when water is added. Peppery back end with a slight tinge of bitterness reminiscent of other Texas whiskies.
Finish
Medium length with sweetness coating the tongue. Drying slightly at the end with residual caramel and sweet corn nut character. Honey and baking spice notes appear with water addition.
Very good
A well-aged Texas bourbon with bold corn character, sweet front end, and spice-driven finish that stands on its own merit despite being sourced juice.
