Starlight bourbon whiskey finished in VDN barrels r/Bourbon Single Barrell selection aged 4 1/2 years Barrel no 21-2248-2 Proof: 106.7 Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Orange is pretty strong, but other sweet notes and nuts (almonds?) are also present. Palate: Clove and cinnamon overpower the sweet notes. Some oak and barrel char. Finish: Long and warm. This is the first time the high proof is apparent, and just won't quit. Splash: No new flavors are revealed, nutty flavor from the nose returns. Overall: 7.5/10 - This was the first pour from this bottle and I had high expectations. It drinks below its proof, but the orange from the nose is drowned out by spice in the palate.
