Crystal Ridge Straight Bourbon Whiskey 9 Year

Crystal Ridge Distillery Bourbon on the rocks

Trying this one at my brother's place. No nothing about it or the source. Thinking maybe Dickel based on location, but don't hold me on that one. Let's see how she drinks.... Nose is a little hot. Still getting a Dickel profile overall so I am pretty sure on that as the source. Getting some toasting and a little heavy on the ethanol. First sip is a little charry. Definitely corn heavy here and a little ethanol burn. The finish is pretty short and the alcohol burn is short lived. Overall this is ok, but I don't think I can recommend a bottle. This one tastes like they tried to do a toasted barrel finish and just missed the mark a bit. Something to sample, but not one I'd keep on the shelf.

Not a bad flavor, not my personal favorite BUT I will always help out a local joint from my home in Spa City!

So smooth. One of my favorite bourbon's. Brown sugar after taste. I believe they use sorghum in their recipe
