Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Fairly simple, but smooth

Light pallet with notes of smoke. For a high rye I don’t get a lot of spice. Medium finish with notes of cocoa and oak.

In every dram I get partially crushed peanut shells, tobacco at the butt of a cigarette, and some shoe leather, more from around the heel than the laces. It’s not entirely as unpleasant as it sounds - at least on the crest of the tongue. But by the time it hits the back, and certainly through the finish, I find myself glancing absently toward the exit of this “super trendy” dive bar and drifting toward who I’m gonna call after this. Maybe Elijah is still up...

Good... spicy and warm, not too sweet. Picked up a little straw on the pallet with a hint of tobacco on the finish.
