W.H. McBrayer Bourbon Batch 4
106 Proof
Blend of 5 and 7 Years
Straight Bourbon
McBrayer Legacy Spirits
88% corn, 6% rye, 6% malted barley
Nose
Has a core bourbon nose with a nice light butterscotch and very present oak in the background, with the seven-year barrels bringing oak to the table while maintaining some wood sweetness.
Palate
Nice sweet presentation with fruity caramel notes, a little bit of nuttiness, and good viscosity at barrel strength without being too hot at 106 proof.
Finish
A little bit of a savory note with tobacco character that is kind of sweet, hanging around nicely with a good sipper quality.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted resurrection of an 1870s historical mash bill that balances oak and sweetness with unique tobacco and nutty notes, drinking lower than its proof.
