Bourbon — USA
Reviewed
August 9, 2024
NEAT
NOSE - Caramel, Honey, Blackberry/Raspberry Jam
PALATE - Decent mouthfeel but leans towards being more thin than viscous if that makes sense. No oak presence. The main notes here are caramel and honey supplemented my faint notes of berries. It’s pretty sweet and very smooth.
FINISH - Short.
BUY? - I’m torn. I like this, but I don’t love it. I think at a higher proof I’d like this much more. However, if you really enjoy bourbons finished in these casks, I’m sure this will be right up your alley. In my opinion, the proofing down of this one hides too much of the influence of the finishing casks.
BUY AGAIN? - No, but maybe at cask strength.
