Black Ridge Small Batch Bourbon

An intense, bourbon from Kentucky crafted with a mash bill of corn, rye & malted barley along with iron-free limestone spring water. It has an aromatic birth with notes of caramel & spice; while a rich life adds notes of grain & honey; that led to a long, rich & complex death.

Pleasantly surprised by this pour. I didnt think i would hate it, but also didnt expect myself to grab additonal pours. I expected the alcohol or corn mash to dominate the nose at this price point, but actually had some nice notes of vanilla , buttered oak. Mouthfeel is thin , but still nice soft vanilla on the palate , some cornbread on the finish. Easy sipper that doesnt require alot of thought. It’s not going to impress your friends ,but isnt priced that way , so don’t feel guilty of buying it to have as an affordable pour. This one can be sipped alone while watching tv and noticing that your glass in empty again.

Just fine. Its a bourbon

Smooth not a ton of flavor

Nose of fruit and sweet smoke. Rich caramel sweetness. Good heat and spice. Slight note of brulee char. Smooth and not overly thick. A winner.

Resorted to drinking with Coke 🥲
