Date Tasted: 7/17/2023

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of frosted berry danish, lemon herb muffin, buttery fresh praline, and maple and pine sap with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, engaging, long finish that presents overtones of panettone, brown spices, toffee, and honeyed mint tea. A zesty, spicy Bourbon that will cover a lot of bases as a sipper or the foundation of a fine cocktail.

About

Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Blended Straight Bourbon is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies with an added allowance to contain coloring and/or flavoring, something that is not traditionally allowed in the straight bourbon category. In addition to this allowance, a Blended Straight Bourbon's components do not need to be distilled in the same state as one another.
