Oregon Spirit Single Barrel Bottled In Bond Bourbon

Gift from Jeremy. I liked it neat. 02/25/24. Bottle kill.

Color - copper. Nose - vanilla, caramel, plum or grapes (cant tell which one), a solid amount of oak, and toffee Palate - brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, maple, and a touch of rye spice and oak. Finish - medium. The sweetness of the brown sugar and caramel notes fade into the rye spice. Overall - I didnt know about this bourbon until i was introduced to it this weekend. As an easy sipper, this is a great pick that delivers a balance of sweet and spicy notes, while also not feeling hot. This is not deep or a complex bourbon. But this is a tasty single barrel bourbon akin to Blanton’s.

On first sip I would've sworn this was a wheated bourbon because I initially got flavor notes similar to Maker's Mark. Surprised to find out it's a 4 grain bourbon with only a small amount of wheat. I get a really nice buttery creaminess from it. This is definitely one of the more unique bourbons I've had and I'm absolutely digging it.

Smooth, light, easy drinking. Tasty!

Vanilla and caramel up front.
