Old Hammer Cask Strength Bourbon
115.66 proof 5 years Bourbon West Fork Whiskey Indianapolis, IN $49.99 99% corn, 1% malted barley
Nose

Soft, sweet and approachable with stone fruit, bubble gum (bazooka bubble gum character), cherry, and baking spices. Light ethanol presence appropriate for the age.

Palate

Sweet umami with barbeque-y notes, creme brulee, toasted marshmallow, caramel throughout, vanilla-heavy with a hint of meaty/nutritional yeast character. Bounces between sweet caramel and creme brulee as it develops.

Finish

Sweet vanilla-heavy fade with spice on the tail, slowly fading into obscurity.

Recommended
A stout, well-integrated five-year-old cask strength that showcases the unique Indiana corn-forward mash bill with surprising sophistication and sweet complexity.
