Thanks to Liquor Barn for this barrel pick. I haven’t had the standard yet, but after this pick, I look forward to it. The overall thesis statement for this bourbon is its ease to drink. Low astringency on the nose, oily mouth feel on the body, and next to no heat on the finish. It’s a very smooth bourbon. There’s a bit of caramel on the nose. This transitions into a caramel apple body, and the tart really kicks in on the finish for true, sour green apple. I’ve had sweet apple and green apple, but never in the same drink before. Very interesting, and one of my favorites.
