Oregon Spirit Distilleries Bottled in Bond Single Barrel Four-Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey @ 00:05:56
100 proof 4 years Bourbon Oregon Spirit Distilleries Salem, OR $65
Nose

Earthiness with corn sweetness, cocoa and chocolate notes reminiscent of Cocoa Puffs, some spice but not prominent cinnamon

Palate

Flavor hits all at once across the palate with little settling, medium-bodied despite 100 proof, root beer and sassafras/horehound bitterness on the back end, cinnamon and spice developing on the second sip, slightly thin texture but full flavor, heat on the back of the palate without much lingering hug

Finish

Medium length finish, some sweetness that opens up on subsequent sips, bitterness and heat fade relatively quickly, not as long as desired due to thin viscosity

Pleasant
A surprisingly good craft bourbon from Oregon with compelling flavor despite thin mouthfeel, offering excellent value at its price point and deserving exploration for those seeking West Coast spirits.
