New Riff 4 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Flowery and honey notes. Smooth start with pepper birn finish you can feel on your tongue.

Lots of spice, vanilla on the nose, classic bourbon flavor but a bit overpowered by the proof. Light mouth feel, but strong on the initial heat. Does not seem to carry all the way down and through, like a typical Kentucky "hug". The oak is stronger on the finish. Tried adding water...no better. Not a fan of this spirit...too rough around the edges, overpowered by oak and ethanol...

Drinkable but not much to it.
