Holladay 6 Year Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof Bourbon

This is a *warm* bourbon. Right from the getgo you feel a ton of baking spices, warmth, and smoothness despite the higher proof. Some vegetal and grassy notes on the exhale, but all around tasty.

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Apples and caramel with a hint of cinamon and clove. Palate: More apple, caramel, cinnamon, clove notes with some dry oak. Finish: Long and warm, with mainly cinnamon and clove. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 9.5/10 - This is outstanding. The spicy notes are suprising considering the lack of rye in the mashbill. The finish just won't quit.
