Comes from the upstart IJW distillery.
Nose - sweet, caramel, vanilla, smoky, oak, little bit of citrus and chocolate.
Palate - still sweet on the front end bubble gum, little bit of vanilla, caramel, mid palate is slightly astringent, but moves to smoke and spicy. Theres a little but of nuttiness, kind of reminds me of heaven hill a little bit.
Finish - short but spicy, I’m gonna guess this is a high rye bourbon. Oak, spice, citrus, hint of mint.
It doesnt remind me of other traditional double oaked bourbons, but with it being on the lower price point of double oaked products its good. With the spice it kind of reminds me of 2XO but not as big a flavor profile but also about half the price. Flavor isnt going to blow you away but its good.
