Trader Joe's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
90 proof NAS Bourbon Bourbon Square Distilling Company Louisville, KY $14.99

Sweet caramel, red fruit, cherry notes, raisin, oak, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, leather. Not overly ethanol-driven.

Nutty, cherry juice, initial sweetness followed by bitterness and dry spice. Medium body with drying oak finish. Develops more buttery notes as it opens in the glass.

Medium length with a dry oak character. Bitterness dissipates as it sits, leaving a pleasant hug on the palate. Develops nicely with time in the glass.

Respectable
A respectable entry-level bourbon that delivers classic bourbon character and flavor development at a budget-friendly price point.
