Trader Joe's Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
90 proof 4+ years Bourbon Bourbon Square Distilling Company (Barton Distillery) Bardstown, KY $14.99

Sweet caramel and red fruit with cherry and raisin notes. Rich tobacco, cinnamon, oak, and leather create a well-developed nose without excessive alcohol heat.

Nutty with cherry juice, little sweet upfront transitioning to dry spice. Oak-forward with a duality between dark and light fruits. Lacks significant mid-palate presence.

Medium finish with bitter oak that softens and dissipates as the glass opens. Develops buttery notes with a gentle warmth and dry oak finish that sits on the back of the palate.

Respectable
A respectable entry-level bourbon with classic bourbon character, best appreciated after it opens in the glass, and suitable for sipping or mixing.
