13th Colony Southern Bourbon Whiskey Cask Strength

Received a sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber with nice legs. Nose: Nuts and oak and jammy fruit. Palate: Cinnamon, baking spice with some oaky dryness and sweet clove. Finish: Long with more of that sweet clove note. Splash: No new flavors are revealed, but the existing flavors come into vbalance with a few drops of water. Overall: 9/10 - The nose is the real star here, but the palate and finish are complex and well done. This would stand out in a cocktail or on the rocks.

Nose: grassy, grainy, sweet Palette: sweet almond, orange zest, very nutty. Oak comes through in the end and over powers the rest.

A very smooth bourbon that has a full mouthfeel with a nice finish but no Kentucky hug (since it was made in Georgia).
