I’ve had and enjoyed a bottle of their regular bourbon. Now onto the Cask Reserve...
The nose has oak, vanilla, maple syrup, baking spices and freshly baked bread.
The palate is semi-sweet and spicey (rye and cinnamon), with oak and a little leather.
Every now and then I get a hint of corn.
The finish has a nice lingering tingle on the back of the tongue along with flavors of baking spices, oak and cola to stay on your mind.
This is really good. I definitely prefer to their standard offering. The higher proof (117.4) brings out so much more flavors and less rye, which is a nice change. It reminds me of a baby Stagg Jr, but it’s just the right amount of heat that is not overbearing.
