Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Color is a rich mahogany, just beautiful.
Nose has virtually no burn. Sweet oak, leather, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and baking spice. A fun nose to pick apart as it is deep and inviting.
Palate doesn't drink like a 137 proof pour. The heat is there but it slightly hidden beneath caramel, cinnamon, tobacco, Risen Chocolate candies, and oak.
Finish is long and strong with a fun lip tingle. Baking spice, vanilla, candied cherries are all mingling and begging you take another sip.
This may be my favorite of 2019, but will have to do a blind.
