A1 (Effingham IL) store pick. 106 proof. Finished in bourbon barrels that previously aged maple syrup.
Pleasant and unmistakeable bourbon nose. No ethanol but unremarkable. A net positive.
Sharp palate right off the bat and doesn’t ever settle down. Maple syrup is front and center, but nothing about the source bourbon stands out as enjoyable. A clear cut above bottom shelf stuff, so respectable for a craft distillery, but isn’t aided by the elevated proof or relative youth. Some promise here but I wouldn’t buy this bottle or order a pour on purpose.
