Tastes

Immediately hit with a big earthy note on the nose; damp earth, rich red fruit. Fades to classic bourbon vanilla and oak with a hint of earthy cabernet wine. The palate is rich and complex for bourbon. Fruity corn, buttered popcorn, caramel, baking spice, nicely integrated oak, red berries. A big hit of cocoa and dark chocolate. Buttered corn, white pepper and leather on the finish with a little ethanol heat. It’s a gorgeously big and rich bourbon with a lot to offer. Everything in balance and rounded for a high proof whiskey. Drinks well below the proof mark but there’s enough heat to let you know it’s not your standard 90 proofer. Texas is representing with a beautiful and unique bourbon offering. Well done Ironroot. Well done.

Strong vanillins, oak, and baking spices on the nose. Palate is intensely sweet and hits you hard with candied cinnamon, ala red hots; maple syrup, fruity corn, & fresh baked bread. Long finish of cinnamon and spice.

A delicious dram. The nose opens with peat smoke that fades quickly to reveal rich dark fruits, raisins, classic sherry notes. Maple, bacon fat, malt. The palate hits you with raisins and dark chocolate, brine, smoke, maple bacon, and finishing with iodine, leather, and cream.

Loads of tropical fruit on the nose, mango, pineapple, dried nectarines, stewed peaches. Same on the palate with malted cereal notes, vanilla and brine. A long finish of brine and cream.
