Broad Branch Big Winston Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed September 11, 2021 (edited August 2, 2022)As a resident of Winston and frequent patron of its whiskey bars, this is something to be damn proud of. Majorly woody with notes of caramel, vanilla, berries, peach and banana. Reminiscent of quality American single malts like Balcones blended with classic bourbon. Sweet, woody and utterly awesome
