Navigator Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Precision Wine Company)
86.6 proof 3 years Bourbon Precision Wine Company California, CA $50 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley
Nose

Darker fruit with sweet cherry notes, tobacco reminiscent of chewing tobacco like Redman, deep vanilla and banana oil characteristics, rich and complex without youthful notes

Palate

Sweetness up front with prominent rye spice and mintiness from the 21% rye content, cinnamon and Cinnabon-like qualities with a sticky sweetness, less fruity than the nose suggests, viscous mouthfeel for 86.6 proof

Finish

Medium to long finish with lingering sweetness and oak, calls you back for another sip

Above average
A well-crafted, elegant finished bourbon that competes favorably with other wine-barrel finished expressions despite its young age, offering excellent value at the price point.
