109 proof, NAS, red winter wheat mash bill (70/16/14) Color: medium-light orange-amber Body: medium appearance in the glass, medium legs, light on the tongue, mildly drying Aroma: maple syrup, pralines, cinnamon, bit of barrel char, hint of milk chocolate and underlying wet wood that lets you know it’s wheated Taste: cinnamon, allspice, cola, maple, vanilla, hint of cherries and mint Finish: warming in the chest without coating the mouth, maple syrup and pancakes with nuts This is leagues beyond the blade and bow, Bernheim, Wilderness Trail group in terms of complexity and clocks in at a decent flavor:value ratio. It’s just more complex and maintains an approachable palate. Heat is in no way off putting and in no way “bites” like MM cask strength. This is a clear winner if you prefer wheated bourbons, curtesy of a Big Boy distiller. As @dubz480 stated, this gives OWA 107 a strong run for the money and if availability is a factor (which I’m starting to think should be lauded) this again wins hands down. Need to try it against RC6, which I recall being sweeter and a tad more earthy, and the 2020 limited release but this is a clear yes, buy and enjoy me and regret nothing bottle. ————— Revisit brings loads of caramel, marshmallow creme, oak and maple pecan pancakes. The mouthfeel is more tannic/drying than I remember but warm in entry with caramel, tobacco, mint, cinnamon, allspice and then a subtle transition to drying oak with a slight bitterness and something like jalapeño-milk chocolate.
