Wathens Kentucky Bourbon Single Barrel – Go Big Blue Liquor Store Pick (94 Proof)
94 proof 4–8 years Bourbon Wathens Bardstown, KY $44 77% corn, 10% rye, 13% malted barley

Corn-forward with cereal notes (hot cereal/malt oatmeal), fruity undertones with hints of cherry, caramel and vanilla. Light gold color with minimal ethanol burn.

Light and thin mouthfeel with a slight bitterness and sting. Corn note persists on the palate. Nutty flavors between almonds and walnuts, with a Kentucky hug characteristic of sour mash. No viscosity.

Bitterness carries into the finish with the nutty character persisting.

Disappointing
A thin, corn-forward bourbon that works better mixed than sipped straight, with an honest but unremarkable profile.
