Driftless Glen Small Batch Straight Bourbon

First ever bourbon “taste” that I’m formally doing! Pretty smooth and flavorful. Added an ice cube and it seemed to dilute it fairly quickly.

Comes in sweet and peppery. The pepper lingers. Not overly comlex.

Nose: brown sugar and a hint of apple Palate: more brown sugar with a quick charred oak finish No burn and easy to drink. Nice brown sugar sweetness. Overall good value at this price.

[12.25.2024] Picked this up on a work trip through Wisco, probably at a Woodmens. Word was that it's "pretty good" in the land of old fashioneds. Was stuck by the fingerprints in the bottle and brought it home and saved it for my FIL for Christmas. Initially sweet, followed by common bourbon flavors from an oak barrel and mid corn bill. But then we looked at the proof. Our particular barrel (bottled by Casey, batch 3) was ~97 proof. This is very easy to sip and would be a great base in any bourbon cocktail. Impressed and the price wasn't outrageous yet. Buy a bottle before the collectors ruin another new player.
