The Bourbon Enthusiast pick - barrel #22-2055-1, 105 Proof, aged 4 years: Opened three maple syrup barrel finished bourbons for Fall/Winter 2022 and this was my least favorite. My points of comparison were Taconic and Widow Jane. I just didn’t feel the bourbon held up as well as the other two and the maple really dominated. Fortunately, maple syrup is delicious and I finished the bottle. Some folks might want maple from front to back when they reach for a finished whiskey like this but I prefer the bourbon to come in strong at some point. Generally I still consider Starlight to be great at finishes but for my annual cold weather detour to maple syrup finish I’ll stick with one of the others.
