Traverse City Whiskey Co. Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon (BevMo!)

Aroma has this dark heaviness to it that starts oaky and shifts to darkly fruity to darkly sweet and then picks up some earthier tones; Palate sits like a complex cookie, like if you could put all the flavors of bourbon into a cookie… and drink it; Finish is a softer cookie copy of the palate.

The high ABV isn’t as bad as you would think on the nose, but strikes back with a vengeance on the taste. Once the bite fades, the classic bourbon vanilla, oak and cherry linger for days
