Treaty Oak Ghost Hill Texas Bourbon

On the nose, woody spicy. Slightly hot. On the pallet spicy, the heat is normal not like you would expect from the nose. A little vanilla. Pleasant finish.

Young candied corn. Not bad. Like to see it again after aging. At cask strength.

Seemed spicier to me that what’s mentioned. But decent. Probably better on a rock.

Quick hit in this. Luckily for the Mrs and I, the Treaty Oak distillery is only 30 minutes right outside of Austin and on a big ranch property to help maintain appropriate distance from other folks. This bottle is their grain to glass bourbon, and it definitely noses and tastes like a Texas bourbon. Very woody and tannic on the nose, with a palate to match. My big gripe about Texas bourbon is that the subtle grain flavors gets obliterated by the oak all too often and the whiskey becomes a little one note. This shows promise, but like most craft whiskey, a little more cask management would go a long way.
