Bower Hill Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Very bourbony, drinks hot, woody, plum body

Color: Honey to Amber Nose: Light, some vanilla, hints of spruce pine tree needles. A very small trace of sandalwood which is a nice surprise. Palate: smooth beginning, with a clove and cinnamon blast on the mid palate. Also just a touch of a ripe tart green apple. Finish: spice fades relatively quickly but ends with a nice apple cobbler à la mode with a strong vanilla gelato which makes me rate the much higher than I initially thought I would!

Tastes like whiskey... let’s call it balanced? My taste buds must be off it just has no real character notes to pick out. Just a hot alcohol finish at the moment. Have to see if it’s different another day.

Smooth and sip-able
