Straight Bourbon
Cat Head Distillery
$129
78.5% corn, 13% rye, 8.5% malted barley
Nose
Tobacco with snuff-like notes, dark floral character reminiscent of aged roses, with caramel and deeper oak tones.
Palate
Buttery and viscous with a light front end that develops into a thick, hugging texture; dry profile with barrel spice and dark fruit notes, minimal sweetness or corn character.
Finish
Back-end focused with lingering spice, hug on the palate, and a lit-up back of mouth sensation with barrel-forward characteristics.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A dry, barrel-forward 15-year-old bourbon with an old soul character that pairs beautifully with cigars and blues music.
