There are a lot of choices these days when it comes to high proof Bourbon, and there certainly are some fire breathers out there. This is a more restrained offering, one that focuses on balancing its heat load with aroma and flavor while delivering the desired tingle. There’s not any burn present – just lively spiced heat with sweet corn and rich toffee. Well done! A Platinum Award winner at the 2023 Distillers Challenge International Spirits Competition. 96
