As a wheated bourbon, this uses wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain - and it's a high wheat mash bill. It's 51% corn, 45% wheat, and 4% sprouted barley. In the glass it's copper colored, it's 96 proof, and according to the label it's aged at least 4 years. A fifth cost me $46.99 at the Total Wine in Uptown. NOSE: The first thing I get is smoky wood, and then some spice. After I began sipping I also got a note that seemed to be either grain or vegetal, or perhaps both, and then a musty earth note. MOUTHFEEL: Creamy. TASTE: Cinnamon and butter are the first notes to strike me. With more testing I also get honey, and a slight generic fruitiness. FINISH: Short, beginning with some gentle spice, which then turns to honey water and ends with a little red pepper. SUMMARY: This is a barely legal bourbon - just one percentage point down in the corn would've made it not a bourbon at all - and it shows. This doesn't present itself like any other bourbon I've ever had. It's gentle and mild, without the assertiveness of a higher corn mash bill. But it's more definite than the lightness of Scottish or Irish whisky, and I like it. RATING: My hick scale rates it at 6, Fine, which is near the top since my scale starts at the bottom with 1. This is 3.75 stars, 75/100, or 7.5/10.
