Journeyman Distillery Not a King

Beautiful bourbon. Nice subtle smooth rye

Not my favorite. Thin herbal with a little bite on the finish

Advent Calendar blind day 25: I’m getting a bright, fruity, vanilla, heavy wood-grain nose. Then a gentle, full-bodied bourbon middle, but long caramel and tingly ethanol finish.

Initial corn to cherry/dark fruit plum flavor, banana heavy oat body, really nice wood character

Decent rye, better mixer, but also sippable
