Ironroot Harbinger Single Barrel Cask Strength

Mike is actually 65.1% ABV (130.2 proof) but drinks under that proof point. The nose is full of honey and maybe graham cracker with just a hint of cinnamon and some nuttiness. The palate follows suit with the nose and finish is loooooooong. My first Ironroot, and I’m intrigued by their line up now. This was an excellent pick from Bethany Discount Liquor on Allen, TX.

Total Wine pick. 117.4 proof. Sweet brown sugar

Holy fuuuuuuu... the specific expression of single barrel isn’t on distillr. But this is some seriously amazing, complex bourbon.

Dark chocolate, dry fruit....

This bourbon is rich, creamy, and it reminds me of Saturday morning. I get heavy cereal influence throughout the taste, starting with buttered pancake drizzled with maple syrup on the nose. The caramel underbelly characteristic of many bourbons is present here, but the rich mouthfeel makes it unique, and the high proof brings it to another level. The finish has a bit of hard candy and residual heat and lasts a good while.

Good.
