The nose on this bourbon doesn’t give even a hint of what’s about to hit your palate, and in the Barrel Proof world that’s a difficult achievement. It works to great effect here, with rich caramel and sarsaparilla presented in seductive fashion. In the mouth a firm blast of heat brings the desired wake up call, and it gives the spice a big push. Add some water or a bold ice cube and enjoy! A Platinum Award winner at the 2023 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge. 95
