This whiskey is aged in a used, charred barrel to mimic how bourbon got started. Moonshiners discovered that charring the inside of the barrel brought the sugars in the wood to the inside edge of the barrel. It would take 9 months to go down from Kentucky to new orleans. Through that trip, they discovered that a little bit of aging aided the whiskey a lot :) Nose: buttered, sweet corn. Similar to a kettle corn. Alcohol is also very present on the nose. Taste: fiery, slightly sweet. No tannins, really. This is because it's in a used, charred barrel. Pretty thin, not very viscous. Finish: mostly picked up corn and alcohol.
