Kentucky Straight Bourbon

A simply great bourbon! Very well balanced and drinkable while still maintaining that Kentucky frontier spirit. I love to sip this whiskey while kicking around the house cooking or doing chores. This isn’t a dram for those quiet moments, this one makes you want to move. Fresh fruit, vanilla and not overly sweet makes this bourbon a notch above most others.

Nose: Fresh fruit, burnt caramel, rich and deep, strong vanilla, not too refined
Body: Medium and dominated by malt and rye
Finish: Rye, very smooth, lingering

A drink all day premium bourbon.

Rating: 89

Cheers!
