Treaty Oak Distilling Ghost Hill Texas Bourbon Single Barrel 47.5% abv 57% Texas Corn, 32% Texas Wheat, 11% American Barley Nose: dense vanilla, corn, sweet bread, tea leaves, strawberry poundcake, bright cherry, vanilla frosting, signature Texas Oak earthy and funky, cinnamon pecan twirl, Palate: smoooooth and sweet on entry, slightly oily and creamy, tea and honey with some fruity character then an explosion of barrel and proof spiciness. Drinks a little hotter than the 95 proof mark and that’s not a bad thing. Vanilla extract, caramel & brown sugar, berries, cinnamon. The mid palate is brief before the peppery barrel notes envelope your mouth from back to front and you get a nice dose of oak. Finish: vanilla cream, leather, sour oak, and a hint of mint cream swirls around. - [ ] It’s classic Texas... and it’s not. That funky Texas Oak is there but it’s not dominant. It adds just the right amount of oak to keep this interesting. The mid palate is really brief and there’s not a lot of complexity. It’s simple and forward. Oak dominates the back half and it gets a little sour on the finish. Puts me in the mind of Larceny Bourbon went for a horseback ride through Texas and came out like you would expect... dusty, sunburnt, and with a little attitude 😉.
