46 French Oaked Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

Category: Cask-Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 47%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of mocha, caramel cream, candied cherry in butterscotch, and baking spice on red apples with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish with touches of french roast, black cherry syrup, and honey roasted mixed nuts. A big, sweet nose that dives into a spiced and warming palate; just damn good Whiskey with a hint of espresso bean to balance out the sweetness.
