Leapers Fork Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey @ 00:07:59
100 proof 4 years Tennessee Whiskey Leapers Fork Distillery Leapers Fork, TN 70% corn, 15% rye, 15% malted barley

Sweet caramel with sugary sweetness rather than buttery caramel; light and fresh corn sweetness reminiscent of sugar-coated corn puffs; cotton candy and fairground sugar cooking aromas; initial medicinal young whiskey notes that open up with air; brown sugar and molasses notes.

Definitely sweet up front with a little bit of bite on the sides of the palate; pop rocks sensation; sweetness balanced by just enough spice to remind you it's a whiskey; light and smooth without a Kentucky hug; medium body.

Medium to short finish; some sweetness remaining on the tongue but not lingering; no significant heat; clean and approachable.

Satisfying
A smooth, corn-forward Tennessee whiskey with appealing sweetness and minimal heat that shows promise for future development with additional aging.
