Roadie Reserve
NAS
Bourbon
Unknown (Connor Kirkpatrick, Dallas, TX)
Nose
Soft sweet spice with cinnamon, sugar, clove, nutmeg, new leather, and oaky coconut.
Palate
Bold and heavily spiced with baking vanilla and oak; tannic, drying edge suggesting significant rye content with a medium finish lacking the warm embrace expected.
Finish
Medium with dry, tannic oak and spice; a slight burn and no pronounced Kentucky hug.
Overall Score
3.1 / 5
An aggressively spiced blend with strong baking-spice character that dries the finish and lacks the integration needed for a polished pour.
