Walker's Kay Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Sherry Cask Staves, 90 Proof)
90 proof
NAS
Bourbon
Green River Distillery
Owensboro, KY
$35
70% Kentucky corn, 21% winter rye, 9% malted barley
Nose
Youthful with corn sweetness, banana oil or banana candy character, light oak, underlying sweetness from sherry staves, a little menthol, bright ethanol that's not offensive, fruitiness present.
Palate
Interesting spiciness that's light and presents more in the middle than upfront, not very sweet at the front, light white pepper, saltwater taffy character, smooth hug developing, refreshing and light, easy to drink without much complexity.
Finish
Short to medium finish, not overwhelming, clean and straightforward without a lot of lingering depth.
Respectable
A solid, light, and refreshing younger bourbon best enjoyed straight or over ice as a pre-dinner pour or seaside sipper rather than as an after-dinner or cocktail whiskey.
