Old Fourth Distillery Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon

From the Inman Park neighborhood comes O4W; sourced from MGP. This is their first try at whiskey after having made gin and vodka for a few years. Nose: A very fruity bourbon. Mostly oranges along with brown sugar. Seeing as this is bottled at 100 proof ethanol is also present on the nose. Palate: Notes of vanilla and corn at first. Next is leather and oak. The alcohol is also more present on the palate than other BiB bourbons I have had. Finish: The oak hangs around for a little, but that’s about all. It’s very ok. The fruitiness on the nose is a standout feature of the bourbon, but the rest of it is very average. Hits the traditional bourbon notes but shows it’s youth in how hard hitting those ethanol notes are even at 100 proof. Very interested to see how their stock ages though. Cheers!

Nice spice and smooth finish. Pairs nice with chicken nuggets.
