Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Nose
Beautiful and very complex nose with distinct tobacco and cigar tobacco notes that make it taste older than it is, reminiscent of a dusty vintage bottle.
Palate
Soft mouthfeel with spice, sugar, and hints of leather, saddle room, and old wood. Not overly astringent or spicy despite barrel strength, very palatable and easy drinking.
Finish
Lingering finish that sticks around without overly deep chest burn, characteristic of the sweet mash process.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A complex, well-crafted barrel-strength sweet mash bourbon with tobacco and leather notes that drinks smoothly despite high proof.
