J. Henry & Sons 5 Year Wisconsin Straight Bourbon Cask Strength

When in Rome....or Wisconsin. Figured I'd pick up a bottle while in Wisconsin. Meh. Heavy vanilla nose. Expected a hotter nose given the proof. Palate is grain heavy and vanilla, not surprising given the young age. Oily and sustained finish. Way overpriced given all the other much better options out there.

I love cask-strength whiskeys and this is one of my favorites! The Patton Road Reserve is unique, and I mean that in the best way. I have Batch #1 and at 127-proof, this is an easy sipper that doesn't require water. The heirloom red corn provides a larger amount of starch which gives this whiskey a very unique, custard flavor, with brioche and toffee flavors. Then, the custard returns for a long finish. Rating on a Bottle, Bar or Bust scale, I absolutely say pick up the bottle! Cheers!

Batch No. 08, Bottle No. 212 - 59.9% Alc. Exceptional full flavored sipping bourbon. Nice warmth on the finish. Easy to drink despite the high proof. Visited the Henry Farm for the tour and tasting. Wonderful people. They are focused on producing a quality product and in my opinion have succeeded. Highly recommend!

I want to try this one.
