45% alc./vol. (90 proof)
Small Batch - Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
This bourbon's age was rumored to be10 years at the time of this review or “long beyond that of any ordinary bourbon," according to the label.
NOSE
A good amount of alcohol at first, but as your nose adjusts to it, caramel takes over completely. It’s actually quite pleasant. Subtle hints of corn and rye also develop as more air mixes with the bourbon. A decent about of oak also shines through.
palate
A medium-bodied bourbon with a warm buttery smooth texture. The first sip has a good degree of alcohol flavor in it. It can be surprising but also a little off putting. What the palate lacks, the finish helps make up for.
finish
Smokey and oaky. This has far more weight than many in its price range. It also packs a manageable amount of heat for a 90 proof bourbon. Unfortunately, it’s not a terribly complex bourbon. Flavors don’t mingle and intertwine as well as some bourbons. In some sips, the oak and the grain/corn flavors completely overpower everything else. ~BreakingBourbon
