Tastes

I love cask-strength whiskeys and this is one of my favorites! The Patton Road Reserve is unique, and I mean that in the best way. I have Batch #1 and at 127-proof, this is an easy sipper that doesn't require water. The heirloom red corn provides a larger amount of starch which gives this whiskey a very unique, custard flavor, with brioche and toffee flavors. Then, the custard returns for a long finish. Rating on a Bottle, Bar or Bust scale, I absolutely say pick up the bottle! Cheers!

Swirl the whiskey in the glass and check out the deep orangish amber. Nosing it brings an aroma of chocolate, toffee, caramel and a hint of sweet fruit. Lifting to the lips introduces custard, crème brulé, brioche, orange and toffee that spreads over the palate. Then, the custard swings back again to give a long, lasting finish. This is the best Bourbon you've never heard of! Cheers!
