65% corn, 11% wheat, 11% rye, 13% malted barley
Nose
Buttered caramel, burnt sugar as if making crème brûlée, tart grape wine notes, corn undertones, baking chocolate reminiscent of no-bake cookie chocolate, coffee and leather with hints of new leather boots, oak.
Palate
Chocolatey and smooth, pecan pie with corn sweetness, wheat softness, hint of white pepper spice, extremely smooth on the tongue with minimal burn, pleasant chocolate notes throughout.
Finish
Peppery finish, white pepper spice, no Kentucky hug or harsh alcohol burn, smooth descent to the back of the throat.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A beautifully balanced four-grain Texas bourbon with dark color, smooth character, and complex chocolate and caramel notes that drinks above its proof.
