Redwood Empire Screaming Titan Wheated Bourbon

Nose- peach skins and yellow butterscotch candies. There is also a sweet piecrust (some might find it a bit yeasty like pizza dough), almost like peach cobbler. Very pleasant and crisp nose. Palate- peach cobbler with vanilla icing. There is a bit of candy corn in there too. That little touch of waxiness is interesting. It is fruity and a very pleasing sip. I like it. A touch of bitterness comes through towards the end though that I could live without. Finish- the finish is medium and has a hint of nutmeg on the end. Overall- This is a very nice 4 grain, wheated bourbon! The tad bit of bitterness toward the end of the sip is where perhaps some young whiskey shows through. It was the one note that I could have had less of. I was really digging the peach cobbler taste. I would really love this to be at a higher proof and I think at a cask strength it might knock ot out of the park The downproofing perhaps hurt it a little bit by some of those really nice fruit and pie crust flavors becoming a bit muted. I really like what Redwood Empire has done. They are making solid bourbon, and rye. This attempt at a 4 grain wheated bourbon is testament to the entire product line. The 80.00 price tag for a non barrel proof dismays me a bit. Is it worthy of that? No. Is it worthy of 60.00? It would be a standout in a sea of wannabees there.
