100 proof
10 years
Bourbon
Luxco (Heaven Hill source)
$50–$60
Wheated bourbon (wheat secondary grain)
Nose
Light nose with typical caramel notes; hints of spice despite wheat secondary grain; overall subdued and not heavy.
Palate
Caramel forward with cereal/grain character; pleasant sweetness; bit of cherry; warms the center of the tongue with a decent body.
Finish
Pulsating finish that fades quickly then resurges; warmth returns on the roof of the mouth at the back; notable oak and woodiness from extended aging.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A solid, porch-friendly sipper with good oak presence and a pulsating finish that rewards slow sipping.
