Tawa Cairo Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey
96 proof A little over 2 years Bourbon Grapevine/Palestine, Texas Grapevine, TX $50 65% corn, 11% wheat, 11% rye, 13% malted barley
Nose

Buttered caramel, burnt sugar from caramelization like crème brûlée, sour grape wine notes, baking chocolate reminiscent of no-bake cookies with Hershey's cocoa, hints of leather and oak, little bit of coffee, darker aromatics from the color

Palate

Pecan pie with corn sweetness, soft wheat influence, white pepper spice, chocolatey taste that is remarkably smooth with no bite on the tongue or harsh throat sensation, very smooth going down, peppery finish at the back of throat

Finish

White pepper spice, peppery sensation at the back of throat, clean and smooth without Kentucky hug

Really good
An impressive Texas bourbon with beautiful dark color, balanced four-grain complexity, and exceptional smoothness that punches well above its age statement.
