  • Breaking Bourbon
  • By Nick Beiter
  • Focusing less on its two finishing barrels and more on its base corn ingredient, Bear Fight Orchard & Vine Bourbon comes across as more youthful than anything else.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Charles Steele
  • Some good complexity and change of flavor profile throughout the drink, maybe a little on the sweet/dark fruits for my preference, seems like it’d be a good winter drink or something to break out at a holiday get together.

    Fruit-forward nose. Cherry danish, powdered sugar-dusted donuts, blueberry jam and pepper.

    Caramel apple, nutmeg and some grassy character.

  • Finish:

    The finish kicks off with walnut and then settles into spice, with pepper and nutmeg.
